    @glennpm Thank You,
    I can't read some numbers and words.
    Not realy sure where I should strat with those numbers. I don't know the total length of the rocker panel because starting from point-zero means I dont have body panels yet.

    Great thread…should be helpful to many. Hopefully more pics and comments will continue to be added to help save all these rusty gems that fortunately keep surfacing!

    So finaly i started to make my own subrails. I prefer original style therefore I made holes on the inside part. Even if no one will see it..... I know they are there...

    Rails look great, I like seeing new parts made that look like the originals. Showing the tools involved would be nice. Bob

    I'm back...again...
    Can somebody check the distance between center of the hole and midle part of subrail ?
    At what distance from the frame the subrail follows its shape. Is the distance the same throughout or does it change?
