Tonight, My uncle came over and surveyed the damage with me. He is going to make me a new rocker out of some 16 gage. Basically its a flat sheet of steel with a small brake at the end. He has some left over steel from when he did his...its the stuff that they make body panels out of originally, complete with the galvanizing. I'll start grinding on mine, look for all the spot welds, and see if I can get the rocker separated from the floorboards. Cut the nasty out, scribe a nice line to cut the new panel in, and stitch weld it back together. I'm REALLY leaning hard toward ordering up the Savvy Rock sliders...Or designing my own similar slider out of aluminum.
We also pulled the tread plate off the driver's side and thankfully, its in good shape. Just wire wheel and seal it back up. Not too terrible, considering.

I also got one of my torque box patches tacked in tonight. I'll just keep picking away at this until its done.

Oh, how about some pictures of fresh paint and no rust! Rear Wheel Wells are done.
