Sounds like a good plan. One thought is rather than just wetting out the back of the panel, use a thin layer of fiber glass mash on top of the foam, so that when you put in the floor, it squeeze out the edges, and you reduce the chances of an air pocket under the floor.
You could add a layer or 2 of of CSM on the whole floor once put back to strengthen the seams and the floor in general. Plus it will improve the surface quite a bit, but does add weight, albeit maybe 10 pounds?
Are you taking more pictures? It would be great to see the intermediate steps. I am doing something similar with glassing in two panels on the bottom of a 1963 17.
Do you plan on painting after putting back the floor?
