Rocker Panel

Post by bobbo52 »

So I took my rocker panels off this last weekend and this is what I found.

Rust

and more rust
Now my question to you all is can I get a replacement panel for this area or do I have to fab this myself? This spot and a little on the rear wheel wells are the only rust I have found oh and the battery box.

You can get patch panels for the rockers. Depending how yours look front to back, you can get just the front sections as well. Looks like you will have to fab a bit of the floor though. I'll be amazed if there isn't more rust under the coating. Just going through the same thing.
