Here's a view of the chassis outside my home garage and the body tilted for rocker panel redesign.

1.5mm thick steel sheet bought and cardboard templates cut for the rocker panels.

This photo may make it clear how Im going to do this.

Since the car will sit on its rocker panels, they need to be strong. So I am going to build the replacement panels on the outside of the drivers side (as you can probably tell from the photo above), then cut out the old rockers and first weld in reinforcement sections that sit inside the rocker sections and tie together the inner, outer and door kick panels.

Ill see if I can get a quick sketch............
