Oh and a few tips on the rest of your preservation of the floor pans. A wire wheels will likely take you FOREVER to remove old undercoating. Try a heat gun and a scraper wherever you can....it'll go much quicker. Then when you POR it make sure there's something for the paint to bite onto or it'll eventually peel off in sheets. And if you don't mind changing the color of the floor pan...I'd scuff the inside and POR that too so the metal is completely sandwiched. Did that with my car and I still have zero rust on the underside.

This is spot on and great advice (not surprised with it coming from Paul).
Do not bother with a wire wheel. At first you will zip through the undercoating and think you are doing great. Then when the wire wheel loads up in around 30 seconds you'll reach for your heat gun. Been there, done that.
