Can't you screw it down and then weld up the screw holes as you go along?

I just put a trunk floor in a '70 Challenger, and I REFUSED to drill the frame rails! I used the existing holes in the pan for access to clamp things up where I could, and the following idea: take an 8 foot long 2x4, turn it narrow edge up and wedge it under the cross brace at the top- in the corner at the inner wheel house. Wedge a short 2x4 under the long one to act as a fulcrum in the spots where you need to force the pan down on the rails. Have a helper pull down on the end of the long 2x4, or if you are working alone like me- hang some weight from the end. I hope you can picture it from my description.... sorta like a see-saw with a moveable fulcrum.
