I ahte to be the bearer of bad news but I've done bodywork for several years now and if you are replacing rockers and floorpans I would get the work done. These items are the foundation of the car and if you do not support the car during this process you can end up with misaligning doors and an unstable body overall. Check around your area to see what a shop would charge and have it done. Floorpans are not quite as important as rockers so at the very least, have the rockers done professionally.
