I have seen first generation summit with wire rack floor inside the cabinet and it seems like a good option especially for something that's sometimes a rust issue.

Was just going to say that, you beat me to it. The rust in the bottom of those is obviously their big weakness so anything you do that keeps the basic look of the grill while eliminating that rust is an improvement in my book. Being able to weld in new cross members is a huge advantage for you.

Cody, I did that on my SS Platinum frankengrill except I didn't replace the rotted out floor with a wire basket, I added an aluminum floor.

I like the aluminum floor. Is that just a washer tacked into place to accept the hinge rod? I would think that with a nylon washer between the frame and the door would work as a guide to prevent metal on metal when opening and closing.

Weren't the fat frames wire baskets inside the cabinet? I swear I have seen pics of it before.
 
Cody here is one. Not exactly what you want to do but maybe it will spark some ideas for you.

Thread 'First Restore/Refurb: 2005 Genesis Silver B'

With some great help/advice from this forum I just completed my first restore, 2005 Silver B I purchased nearly 20yrs ago. I know it’s not a classic deep box genesis, but it has sentimental value as I bought it brand new nearly 2 decades ago. Like many Silver Bs, the bottom shelf in the cabinet started to rust and I decided to do a deep clean, custom wood shelf and full-out restore.

Honestly - if you've got the bottom drop/snap in rack - I'd ditch the cabinet all together and just have an open cart.... The cabinets don't do much for me except make me look every once in a while to see if/how badly its rusting.
I've got a bottom rack saved for if my Spirit/SilverB rots out, or I run across one that I want to save.

I recall that one now! It’s a shame to hide that woodwork in the doors! That’s a beautiful restoration.
