Been picking away at this thing. The Driver's side rocker panel had some serious rust. The Back Center Brace was hosed, along with where it attached, and a couple other sections on the inside.


So I made a new panel, and insides as was needed Then stapled it back together, after dealing with the inside sections and rust. Also made a new back center brace for it.


I then cut the last bit of the back panel, were it was also rust kindom.

Here's the old piece, and the new one, along with the back brace.



Kinda seemed funny to do this part, because most of it gets covered up by the wheel flare, but wtf.

More pictures of of my staples.

My piece was a little short on the top, but I was able span the gap.


Backside:
Hard to see but I have the hole drilled for the body bolt on the bottomish.


I decided I will grind down my staples after I get done with this.

I have a pair of quarter Panel Patches, that if I use wisely, will be enough to replace all the rust parts. And a real sill. I am sure after I cut this up, I will be patching the rear support too.
