I installed the new rocker channel and repaired the pillar.
Here you can see where someone attempted to repair the old rocker channel by splicing in a decent rear section from another car.
The hinge pillars are not reproduced. Fortunately, I put an ad out for a pillar and found one that would work. The one I found was rotten at the top, but solid at the bottom. Mine is solid at the top and rotten at the bottom, so I removed the metal I needed from the other pillar and spliced it into the one original to the car. After much thought, I decided it would be best to overlap the metal for strength.
My welds are not the prettiest, but it will look nice once they are smoothed out.
