Need Help with some Jeep Wrangler Issues

Well I just got my 95 Wrangler a couple days ago and im doing a couple things before I drive it. I’ve been doing some rust repair and also need a new soft top.

My entire floor panel by the drivers feet is completely rusted through. Now is this the correct process to repair this???..
-Cut all the bad metal away
-Get replacement panel
-Tack/weld/grind
-Paint

My only problem I have here is that the fuel lines run right along the frame near the floor. What would be the best way to make sure I don’t blow myself up?

As for the SOFT TOP, is there some where local I can buy one or do I have to order it???

Thanks for any help.

cant help you with the rust repair. ive been driving mine like that. as far as a new top goes, 4 wheel drive hardware will probably be the cheapest, www.4wd.com or used out of the paper or something.
