replaced the pass side floor pan on the coupe. the driver side is another project. :D
i was going to replace a section of the outer rocker, but my replacement was cut too short. so now i need to find another one.
a pic of the rocker...
That's the way to do it.
Looks like you started a new trend around here, Jerry :)
There's no sense in throwing away something that can be fixed or modded the way you want it.
Let's see what the frame ends up looking like on this project. ;) I see 2" tubing already
it's actually 1-1/2" that was on the car when I bought it. I have some 2" material left over from the bird I plan on using, after I get the motor and trans in.
got the rocker 80% done. needs a little more filler and some sanding.
Looks good, did you get a donor rocker for that?
yes, i did, but turns out i didnt cut out 100% of the damaged section. so no im trying to get the rest of the panel flush with this bondo glass stuff.
boy! now that bring back some funny feelings:crazy: it look like the way i did it on my sister 86 stang. when a curb came out of no where and bit her car but it was at the front of the door, just back from the front fender. its a slow work but worth the time when you get it done. good luck and keep us posted. if you need a rocker panel i have some extra!
this is when i had to replace a panel on my 83capri. at one point the wife took a photo.
so im feeling your pain but i still remember what i was thinking when this photo was taken.

Ahh the same look I have working on my car. LOL
It's the look of "why am I doing this" LOL
yes sir !you win the prize.:burnout:
I have had that look as well.I often wonder why I'm pouring so much time,labor,and parts on a car that really has no big cash value,but I continue on my path to completion just the same.I guess I just love the car.I only liked it when I brought it home,but after a couple of years,we've bonded pretty well.Seeing it REALLY naked didn't hurt.LOL.LOL.
