found something new & NOT GOOD! The pass side rocker panel looks good from the outside, but when I took a look underneath, there was a little rust where the bottom of the rocker panel & the other metal "inside" of it meet. Pushed on it w/ a screwdriver- it went thru the inner metal like butter! I now have a completely rusted out length about 12-14 in long from the front edge back "behind" the rocker panel! What would be the best way to redo it? Where can I get parts? Anybody have a parts car? HEEEEEELP!!!!! Ralph

Hey Ralph! Bummer on the rocket panel. If you are good with metal working, simply cut out the area where the rust is and stitch weld in the replacement panel. This can be done by marking either side of the rust, drilling out the spot welds in that section, using a cut off wheel to to cut through either side of the rusted section and a prybar or large flat head screw driver to remove the rusted section. The web is full sites that show similar work... Here is a descet link I found that you can reference, but as noted, there are many sites that show how this can be done. home.comcast.net/~rockerpanel/rockerpanel.html Replacement Rocker panels are available through Year One and OPGI. They are relatively inexpensive. You do not need to weld in an entire replacement panel, unless you want to, just the section where the rust is... Ted

Yes it is. Your part numbers are as follows:
RH = JS9001RH LH = JS9001LH
$49.95 each panel... Ted
