Awesome build and skills.

No matter what you do the rocker will not be totally sealed and moisture will accumulate. A couple of drain holes would be a good idea so that moisture can escape.

Hi Trey. I kept a 1" wide sliver of the rocker that I bent up if you want to use as a template, glad to send to you, not sure if it will be exact on your car but it might give you a place to start. I kept with Dr. Hermance's concept of not flaring out the rocker but just letting the door line continue down.

I appreciate the offer but I'm so far out from doing body work that it would be lost. I'm sure someone else might be able to use it.

Thanks John.

Thanks Don!! Yep, totally agree. I sealed the inside of the new rocker with Zero Rust before I put it up and I sprayed Eastwood's frame rail seal inside the existing rocker. I decided to leave the existing rocker as I don't think the weight savings was worth any potential chassis rigidity. I will include some drains....I agree with you, these areas seemed to have been designed to gather as much water and debris as one could find! - I wish I had picks of the leaves I took out when I stripped the car!

Combined the install of a 2.5 gallon oil tank with finishing the fab of the extended rocker panel. Thanks to many here...Steve, JJ, Tim McGilton and others for the concept and advice!

Used a 1" tube through the rocker to provide access for a bolt to attach the front fender. Even though I've done everything I can to eliminate any water from getting down here, I still prepped the metal to withstand the elements.
Attachment 64070
These access holes will be covered by a splitter...coming later.

Had to push the tank into the interior just a bit.

Sealed off the rocker.

Sealed off the interior.

Will have to relocate the filler and install a site tube. Prepped for this but will wait until I'm routing the oil lines.
