But I need to find where I can get new floor pans put in the 73 vw bug I bought for my sister as a wedding present. I have the pans, just need to be installed. Any ideas?

Try this place out. Pretty good prices for factory replacement pans. I did this to my 71 beetle. One word of advise if you do put new pans in...undercoat the bottoms with a good off the self undercoating and insulate the insides with a corrosion acid etching primer prep then cover it with roofin tar. Mine have never rusted since, and I did mine back in 1985. Also get a gel cell type battery. 90% of VW floorpan rust comes from vapors released from standard type acid filled batteries.
Good luck
