Hay guys, newbie here!
I just finished setting the new inner rocker in place and have about 20hrs involved? Is that about right?
I cut the spot welds and then used comb of plasma cutter, sawzall and air chisel to get everything out. I left the bottom side of the front torque box and cut down into the top. I slid the new rocker in from the rear after cutting the lip off it. The outer rocker, sheetmetal seat brace and rear springmount'torque box are intact as well as interior bracing.
I'll replace floorpans and lower firewall as well.
Am i slow? or is that about right for a convertable?

 

Oh well, no pics...sorry guys.

 

That was the hardest replacement for me. You doing fine. Just take your time.

 

I did mine on 66 - first time I ever did one and that was about as much time as I spent. Did the other side and found it a lot easier to replace the inner and outer as one piece. Lot less spot welds. Maybe a little overkill but would have had to patch outer anyway. Yours looks great. Like the way you braces car - very smart.

 

Yes, replacing them as an assembly would be much easier - i would've made a fixture or something to locate with precision the outer-rocker. Oh well. How do you know how i braced the car?
Can you see the pics? I can't and that is why i haven't updated.
Thanks, oj

 

Wow, pictures! Well, lets push our luck and add a few more.

Whats the deal, i went to 'advanced' and there isn't any way for me to upload pictures. I have tried to PM a moderator but it takes special stuff to do that, i have gone to the beginners' section and read about picture posting and it takes some kind of account to post pictures from...i don't understand the problem and difficulties.
A build thread isn't effective without pictures.

 

It's fairly easy. First, your pics need to be someplace else on the internet, like Facebook, Imageshack and Photobucket. You upload them there, and once you do, you copy their web address. Paste that into your response and then put [IMG] in front of the web address and [/IMG] at the end, and it should show up at the end.
