[@DesertRatFabrication]

That looks like a really good replacement rocker panel, going to be a solid car

[@IronheadGarage]

Yes it was well worth the money. I was just like the stock ones. She should be pretty solid For my life time Lol. hopefully my son or grandson keeps her going After I'm long gone😁 we can only hope. Thanks for watching👍👍👍

[@AndysDogHouse]

Hey Man. Nice work. I don't know how many restoration videos I've seen where guys weld all the hole up on the firewall. They don't realize that some are drain holes and they are doing more harm than good. Nice work on the rockers. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍🍁

[@IronheadGarage]

Thanks Andy I have seen that before to and then years later they're wondering why the paint is bubbling it's rust. Thanks for watching buddy 👍

I have been thinking about buying both of the rockers. Now I will after see what you have. I don't have any rockers at all. I wish mine looked as good as yours at least you have something to work with, mine are totally gone.

[@IronheadGarage]

I had about half a rocker lol On the driver's side. Those 100% rockers are the only way to go. And make sure you get the inner rocker to. Was not to bad to replace hopefully you floor pan braces are in good shape. The nice thing is All those parts are available now. Good luck with your project I appreciate you watching Take care man👍👍👍

[@bwsgarage]

I was thinking same, I had to dig my brace out and replace.

[@IronheadGarage]

Thanks brother yeah I got lucky it was good. So the car was built in Oakland CA. Maybe it live down there a long time then came my way then sat a long time its starting to come back to life😃now I think it would say thank you if it could lol

[@IronheadGarage]

Man guess I got lucky😃

[@Trifiveguy]

BW's Garage yeah Bryan they are usually rusty

[@theunravelers3995]

I had to replace my rocker panel on the rhs, Purchased from classic industries. Great quality, although I had to cut down the center of the bottom and narrow it to fit the profile of the car

[@IronheadGarage]

Hey how's it going! My rocker did fit ok but man the lower quarter panel right behind the door sure didn't fit very good. So just used what I needed of it. It's to bad they can't stamp them to fit right. Good luck on your project. Thanks for watching and the comment. Take it easy man👍👍👍

[@theunravelers3995]

@@IronheadGarage all good! I’ve been documenting my build on my Facebook, maybe one day I will grab all the small videos and pics and make a video of it. All these videos are beneficial to the next guy trying to build a hot rod
