1965 Mustang FRAME SPECS Help!

Im new here. Hi all. I have 2 mustangs, a 65 conv. modified and a 65 2+2 fastback, restoring now.
IM looking for the correct frame measurements, Im replacing the front frame rails, really rusted, but need width, length and other measurements, my ford manual

I have a 64 1/2 convertible on a rotisserie at the moment and a 65 Convertible at the other end of the shop on a lift that I could measure for you.

svopaul"
That would be great. I need a measurement from the front of both frame rails to the firewall. maybe from the top of rail to firewall would be easy.
then I can clamp then in and the inner panels to get them at the correct location.

When discussing frame rail measurements that's a bit vague...there needs to be a point to point measurement. Perhaps a phone call might be in order to discuss. If you'll message me your number and a good time to reach you I can give you a call from out in the shop to discuss specific measuring points. It would be helpful if you were also in front of your car at the time.
