Was hoping for some input from the club. Over the years rust developed on the rocker panels of my FC vert. I want to take care of it this year before it becomes worse. I havent been able to source any replacment panels. What has everyone been doing to fix the issue?

 

You will need to cut the dog leg off an FC that isn't rusty and use it to replace that section on your car to fix it..

Rust is the worst.

 

^yeah.

A parts car would be an easy solution. However, it would beg the question of is it worth it, or do you just swap the drivetrain and good parts from your car onto a clean parts car?

From my experience with FC's, if the rockers look like that, its even more ugly on the underbody of the car. You could cut and weld on new rockers and still have rust in other spots, find a clean shell and swap everything over, or just slap some TII skirts over the rust and not think about it.
