I'm interested in this as well. I've been collecting parts over the last year to replace the trunk, floor, sub rails and rear quarter wells.

So far I've used SAR & Howell's for the trunk support, tail pan and rear window drain pan. I returned the rear window drain pan and tail pan to MAc's. Total crap, night and day with regard to quality. The drain pan was almost 3/4 off and crooked. Wasn't even close to stock. The Howell's pan was almost a match, minor fitting etc.

Donnie Smart makes very good Subrails. They fit perfect.

I use Tom's, there are a few issues. There is a hole missing for the five window coupe body at the rear of the door, easy to back drill. The curvature at the very front and rear are off a little and require a cut to correct. Where the raised up sections are along the lower door area these sub-rails are flat. You can make a small hand die and form them into to sub-rails or (as I have) cut out sections of the sub-rail to fit around them.

Never used Toms sub rails or floors, just saw them in his catalog.

I like Tom's (R&J) metal products, I drive to his place to pick them up! Just wanted to let folks know that, like all of the metal parts I have used, they require a little tweaking. And if anyone is interested, Tom does not fab the sub-rails, they are fabed by a gentleman in McPherson KS. He sells them direct on ebay and through R&J.
