Well I spent a good majority of this weekend, building rockers. Spent friday evening patching the outer rocker rust areas, and banging out a few dents and dings. Then Saturday designed, built and installed the new inner rocker structure. Teh new innner rockers are made from 3/16 plate steel, the was broke with a 1.5 inch lip that is attached to the inner portion of the lower lip of teh original rocker where there used to be a pinch weld. They then extend upwards 4" and are then tied back into the upper area right below the upper pinch weld. This gave the car a ton of strength, and some sturdy mounting points for the new frame. All I can do now is hurry up and wait, as the wheels, brakes, and tranny are all riding around on the brown truck somwhere. once the wheels arrive I'll mock them up, take some measurements and start fabbing a chassis. I hop eto have this thing on the ground by end of next month.
