Roofing tar is a very temporary "fix" at best. Probably traps more moisture than it repels.
The '64 Falcon Convertible I did some years ago was more hole than floor. The only thing that provided any structural support was the driveshaft tunnel. I cut out the floors and welded in new metal, putting the same pattern in the metal to prevent "oil canning". New inner rockers, made by a local welder of 12 ga made for a very rigid structure.
