Default 1966 fastback Frame rails

I am looking at a car that a guy restored that he said he has done EVERYTHING on it . It has NEW fram RAILS put in as well. I does NOT come with the Quarter panels put in, No tubs, No trunk floors. They need to be welded in and finshed out.
Here is my big Concern, is that he might have been off one way or another when he put these fram rails in. This would make it have problems putting these parts back together.
Let me ask HOw could I measure to MAKE SURE these Rails were INDEED put in RIGHT!!

Is there som data some place that has all the demisions?

Yeah, even though it is a fastback, I would second what Soaring said. Sounds like one hell of a rustbucket if he had to replace everything. Unless you are a maestro with a welder, and a glutton for punishment, I'd keep looking.

Well, it sounds like it was in bad shape at one point but, it also sounds like the guy was doing the job right. In my view, it depends on how much you're getting this fastback for. You can pick up a nice project fastback for around $8,000 - $10,000 that does not need allot of work like that. Plus, if you look around for some time, you will find great deals out there. Take a look at this one.
