Has anyone purchased rocker panels that actually look and fit correctly unlike the garbage I got awhile back.





If so, from whom and when. If not, looks like I will be banging on metal again.

Thanks
 
Ray,

Where did you get those at?

Moss in Goleta. The passenger side was installed awhile back, a whole lot of hammer work went into it. I was hoping that the rockers now available have improved. I would rather spend another $150 the beat metal.
 
I had to massage :wink: all of the corners/bends on the stupid rockers. It took a while but was the only way to get them to fit properly. These were on panels that I bought from TRF about 3 years ago and they were Heritage panels. What I assumed is happening, is since they are using the original tooling, anywhere there is a sharper radius has dulled over time and things are not quite what they should be.

On the bright side it is a much better place to start than raw sheet metal.
 
I ended up with some from VB in a parts buy - unknown manufatcure date of the sills - and they looked the same Ray. I'm not sure better quality exists...
 
Thanks guys, I thought that would be the situation.

Bam, bam, bam, I will be driving my artist and student neighbors crazy.
