Weird repair panels...PICS
Hey guys/gals,
I took some pics of my inventory of sheetmetal for my 67 vert project and I noticed something weird with my rockers.
I looked at the rockers on my car and if you look at the seam where they are spotwelded together and they are composed of 3 pieces sandwiched together. Well on the replacements, if you put them together it is 4 pieces.
Here's why....the outer rockers have another panel welded to the inside of it and strange enough it looks to have a seat belt nut welded in place too.
It looks like these are a 65-66 set of complete rockers but then I'm not sure because I dont have my 66's anymore and I really dont remember this detail.
The tags on the rockers say 65-68 so maybe I just need to cut this inner panel off? I dunno? This is the first time I've opened this box of parts.
Pics:
Now if they did send me 65-66 panels, can I use them for the 67 if I cut the inner out?
If not, does anyone want to trade me a 67 skin or a full for what I have?

Thanks Joe!
Hey, NPD finally called me back and said that these are for coupes and fastbacks. They told me that I can indeed use the outer for the convertible but will have to remove the inner flat rocker in order to do so.
Does anyone need inner rocker panels for a 65-68 coupe/fastback? I'm removing them with a spot weld cutter so they wont be damaged.
PM me if interested.
