I built a small doubler to close off the end of the rocker before my fender well patch goes on. This is it being made, I guess I didn't get any pics with it in place, I'll do that today.
This will weld between the inner rocker, bottom of the outer rocker and bottom of the new J channel.


I also got the inner fender patch pretty well complete. I am debating cutting off the rest of the original inner fender (along the top) and making this all one piece, it would clean up that flange a lot and make it all one shape.




Started fitting the rear brace splice. Lots of work in this one.

I had to slice the channel to get it to snuggle up to the rocker AND fit up to the floor. This will get welded solid with a doubler on the inside.

There is still a gap at the flange to floor area so I am going to cut the sides from the floor (dashed line in pic) of the brace to allow the flanges to come up higher then I will weld the gap.


I am also going to fab up new inner rocker braces that weld in just behind the center brace.

This one was pretty rusty but it was still intact enough to flatten it to make a pattern.


I will make two of these when I do it. I am sure the driver side piece is shot as well...
Thanks guys! Hope you had a good Christmas!
