Rocker Panel Removal

Trying to get off the rocker panels on my 82. I've removed all the screws, both top and bottom but it almost feels as if there is a weld on either end of the panel to the body. Or maybe they are rusted on.

Any advice out there on how to take these off?

I used a die grinder with a cutting wheel. Remove exess weld, pry carefully apart.

I had the same issue. Turns out the screws in the each wheel well were covered by the orig. undercoating. Just had to scrape and dig to find the screw heads.
