I'm about to start doing the bodywork on my '64 Greenbrier, so I'll let
you know about those rails. On mine, the lowers panels are pretty good.

If you're wanting to use factory-looking carpet from Clark's, as I am,
then Thinsulate from Dynamat may be what you're looking for. VW guys use
it in their cars. It ain't cheap ($25 a pop), but works great.

Cheers,
