There are holes in the trunk floor on both sides of the tank in my 66 Fastback.
Bummer

Which of these parts do I need and what is involved to do the repairs? Will there be any exterior painting needed due to cuttting and welding?
If the rust is confined to the floor, you'll need a trunk floor for each side. Properly done, the only visible repair will be on the pinchweld at the bottom of the quarter, which is blacked out.

Blogged the repair of mine if you're interested. As stated above, frame rail damage is always a possibility. There will be damage to your paint on the tail light panel due to braces welded between floor and the tail light panel.

it was so hard. why dont you try to calculate the auto repair costs of the flooring. it will maximize your budget in case you did the repair.
What the hell are you talking about? This smells like and advertisement post to me.
