| #68: May 25th, 2012 - Replacing the drivers-side rocker panel skin... | ||
| In
the last update, I had acquired an rocker panel from the junkyard and
removed the outer skin. Now it was time to use it to replace the
bent-up rocker panel on the POS. I used the 'new' outer skin as a guide for cutting out the old one, making sure to cut inside the line and then 'creeping-up' on it. This is more time consuming, but ensures that I won't have huge gaps to try and weld-up. This process was all done with the door still in place, so that I could maintain the proper gap between the rocker and the door. Once I was satisfied with the fitment, the new rocker skin was tack-welded into place and the door was removed to allow access for finish welding.                 | ||
| Once
the new panel was welded in, all the welds were ground down and a coat
of epoxy primer was applied. After that, the body filler, spot putty,
block sanding & filler primer were used to make the rocker look as
good as new. | ||
