1) Pre-fit the shell on the floor. Trim floor to fit.

3) Remove shell and drill holes through floor and frame at those locations.
4) Add C channel around perimeter.
5) Drill hole through c-channel from under the frame (existing holes from step 3)
6) insert bolts from under trailer and weld heads to frame.
7) install belly pan
8) install shell
Your method sounds great. I already have the floor bolted to the frame. I'm going to try it at this stage. I'll let you know how it goes.
