Floors are not reproduced for these cars. You'll have to find another '63 full-size Olds and take the floor from it. Lots of cutting and welding, it sounds like.

Welcome, I would check out 62starfire63's thread " restoring a starfire " under build threads he has replaced the floors in a 63 starfire convertable using a 88 as a doner car.

Welcome aboard Sal, sounds like you have your work cut out for you. Can you post some pictures of your car?

Might try emailing one of these guys and see if they can help or point you in the direction of a metal fabricator. Do the floors have enough shape to them to use as a template?
