Rocker Panel Repair/Replacement
So I searched, but didn't come across anything that told how you would go about replacing the rocker panels.
My driver's side one is probably going to need replacing (I haven't taken a better look yet).
Couple pics...
The underside doesn't look that bad. Most of what I can see inside there looks like surface rust. Is there maybe a way to get better access to it to look around some more?
I found rocker panels for $43 + $11 shipping.
Doesn't seem too bad. Are these hard to replace? I can weld. I've just not had to replace rocker panels before.

I take it the fuel lines run on that side? That would be fun trying to explain to the apartment complex why their garage is in flames.

Re: Rocker Panel Repair/Replacement (si90rex)
any way patch panels are easy just cut out what u need to cut go about 6 inch pass the rusted out spot and piece in the part of the rocker u need i did my quarter panels about 2 months ago.
its not hard just takes patients and remeber u can alway cut more off but u can't just glue on more. start with more than u need and cut as u go. do rush!
they pics are unfininshed but i did finish them.

Quite the gangsta lean there. Good tip. Always cut less than you think you'll need and trim as required.

Yeah those were taken before I dug out what I did in the last pic. I still have to jack it up and look around some more.
