Default 32 subframe

Does anyone have any pictures of the floor in their 32 while it was being redone.. my floors are gone from the seat back and I need to know where to go from here... My dad had bought what looks to be a 5 window rear floor section, but looks to be trimmed too short or is there supposed to be a subrail that runs along the edge of the body? I will try and get some picks of what I am going to have here..

Thanks as always!

About the rear 6 inches or so of 5W floor is a separate piece welded to body, if my memory is right...then in front, about 2 feet under the seat is a separate panel between 2 body crossmembers. Where's Zach Suhr?? I seem to remember him posting pics of rebuilding the floor of a formerly channeled 5W a couple of years back.

If it's a three window coupe at least you can probably get the parts you need from Brookville. (pricy though) The 5 window is wider and the tudor, fordor, and vicky are even wider back there. The sub rails for all but the roadster and coupe models have to be fabricated. Unless someone is making them that I don't know about.

Do all the subrails run from one side to the other or is there a perimeter rail also?
