FC Rocker Panels

My right rear rocker is rusted through.

Anyone know where I can find a replacement?

No one makes these? Seriously? Does anyone have a rough estimate on how much something like this would cost me at the auto body place?

^ its not a removable part, either buy after market skirts, or sand it down, reshape it with heat and hammer, then bondo.

i suppose you could cut that from a parts car, and re weld it, but that would require cutting way off more than you think

I repaired similar rust on mine, but there was much much less rust(some dumb lady hit the front fender, so before it went in the spray booth, I fixed all the little problems.

I got a donor and took off that whole panel from the body molding line, all the way down, and into the door sill. That way you have at least as much metal as you need for your repair.

Mine was a convertible, so there is 3 layers of metal in the rocker area. When i cut that outer piece off, I attended to the surface rust inside with POR-15, and then fit my patch and welded it on.

I thought I bought my gas tank off there last year. It was cheaper than going straight to junk yard.
