It’s hard to tell from the pics, but is the metal thin? Can you push a screwdriver through it? Dremel isn’t going to cut it, get in there with the grinder and wire wheel, and you’ll burn through the thin areas. Vinegar is a very weak acid, and it’ll take a long time, especially in the cold.
If the edges of the floor pans are good, and you definitely need to replace them, I’d be tempted to glue them in. The adhesive isn’t cheap, and you’ll need a special gun, but maybe you can rent or borrow one from a local body shop.
Way faster, and you won’t have to worry about weld through primer, rust, etc.. Clamping it might be an issue, but some small screws would hold it, then pull them after 24 hours. Deburr the holes, then smear more adhesive or seam sealer over them.
