Do you mean installed or testfit? I would think it would be hard to instal with a inch gap. Mine was straight front to back. Top to bottom ( not correct). Is your door on? If so how does it lineup or is it obvious it was damaged during shipment?

im taking the rockers tomorrow to a metal dude whos an expert welder im gonna have him chop it at one of the welds and re weld it straight. should do the trick. then im gonna weld the inner rocker in place and move on to the torque box. then can wrap up the floor pans and done with one side. sounds so easy 
hows your progress going? photobucket up yet?

im about at the same position as you, took pictures but wayy tooo tired to post. will post tomorrow. i welded in my inner rocker, all done with that. now just have to replace my inner frame rail, i will be removing the old one tomorrow and will have a metal guy bend me a new one on monday. can be done very easy as its just a straight beam.
as for the inner rocker. its half inch lower in the front so im gonna have to massage the hell out of the tb to get it in. not sure why it came so much lower. besides that i had the tb curve a half inch inwards too.
as for tb, i split them up as everyone say as it was the only way possible. I also tack welded in the rear floor pan piece as i had nothing else to do today. ordered some new firewall extensions (toe board pieces) as my area needs the replacement.
moving along veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy slowww

can someone show me a picture of the inner rocker panel from under the car. is it supposed to loop down and almost create like a a circle when the outter and inner are welded together. The reason I asked is because the upper part of my inner rockers are in really good shape. so that kind of confused me on if they need to be replaced.

ill try and take some pics for you and post them. my upper part of my inner rockers were all intact but when you put your hand underneath the car, it was empty, they were rotted out. its as though i didnt have half the inner rockers. actually 70% rotted out.

Sorry about the delay. I was sick all week. I'm just welding things together now. Should be working on the rear rail this weekend. Never thought I would see the day
Cyprus you don't mean your full front rail do you?
