Thank you all for the guidence. The only problem I had was getting the floor off of the bottom frame. The screws broke the plastic screw holders. I will have to rig something up when I put the floor back in. I did keep the small plastic stand-offs. Any suggestions? Thank you all again. This forum is awesome. So many talented people.

Can you glue the screw's mounting area? The little piece of plastic that holds the screw in place, use some model glue and insert the screw to form the shape you need and remove the screw after a few seconds and let the glue dry overnight(24 hours sometimes to dry) and then re-assemble the passenger car. I have used Squadron putty to re-mount some of my screws in plastic holes for screws and it works very well. I don't recommend super glue as it will hold the screw permanently and you won't be able to remove the screw if needed at a future time.
