used rocker panel, anyone got one??

I need a drivers side rocker panel for my FC. Where should I look for one, or do any of you have a parts car and dont need the rocker??

The car was T-boned by a motorcycle (in the drivers side door) before I got it. The previous owner replaced the door, but the rocker panel and metal behind the drivers door is still screwed up from where the bike/guy hit. The body shop said its easily fixable, just need a new rocker panel, they can get one for like $170, but I'd rather try to find one for cheaper, save a few pennies.

Thanks guys

Okay, what part is the rocker panel? I have an 86 parts car, but I think that I am thinking of the door sills.

yeah, not the door sills, the part of the body (on the outside of the car) underneath the drivers side door.

I need from the start of the rocker (up by the front wheel well) to about 36 inches back (approx midway to the back of the door). Thanks for y'alls help

Ha, I dont need a door, that has actually already been replaced, so I have a freshly painted new door, and a 10 year old faded paint job on the rest of the car...it looks terrible.

but thats getting fixed as soon as I get this rocker panel.

Let me know if I can help I have a Turbo II for parts with a complete back half. Banzai is a really good person and has been more than helpful to me so you should consider dealing with him. He won't dissapoint.

Good, glad to hear Banzai is good to deal with. I was actually going to ask about him. He seems honest enough (we've PMed) and he lives pretty close, so shipping wont be ridiculous. Thanks for all of your help guys
