But decide to use a NOS rocker had stashed. Pulled the door, and started cutting and grinding.

the510keeper Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Left rocker done, WOW what was I thinking. Now I know what the lady that specializes in blow jobs feels like at the end of the day. My knees are done. As i had help from Andrew gathering the ends to this rocker. I still had to use some scrap sheetmetal to fix areas of rot beyond the rocker Now on with the rear left quarter Quote Link to comment

carterb Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 You keep fixin' the rust and you're going to have to re-name the coupe! 1 Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 The Coupe's no longer mine, I think the new owner will name it something old school Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 you make that look so easy got knee pads or a kneeling pad works good too Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 That's looking like my goon project...but a cooler car :) Quote Link to comment
Silver04rs Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 you make that look so easy got knee pads or a kneeling pad works good too Just what I was going to say. I have a good pair of skatebord knee pads I use or a olf piece of fora from a seat that I cut down cause I was too tall I use the pad most of the time as knee pads start too bug me after a few hours Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted December 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 More grinding and cutting Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Lol was just checking... I sold him some parts for this. Seeing if he was getting his hands dirty. Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 What did you sell him? Welding and cutting and fitting Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Cutting all the useless shit away Vic then painted on the black sealer Letting things dry and tomorrow we will be installing the new unrusted part Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 On with the right side rocker I'm not sure where the replacement rocker were made, but they are working out great. The metal is 14-16 gauge. My only complaint would be the ends. You have to get parts from a parts car to finish the ends. Thanks Chris for the hook up. Making sure the door fits. It not uncommon to hang a door 2-3 times while working out replacement panel fitment Extra parts needed to finish the ends More parts for helping finish the ends Also had rust on the rear area of the quarter Vic went on to seal welds, some sealer will be sanded off. This Coupe will still be a cleared bare metal shell, unseen areas will get sealer to help keep the rust out. The clears been doing a great job on the rest of it Quote Link to comment
