got the drivers rocker box in, rear lower door pillar, fabricated the back half of the lower rear door pillar, fabricated the panel in between the back of the rocker box and door pillar, and have the inner rocker panel ready to go in after rust proofing the inside of the rocker box. Progress is good:) The Door pillar patch panels don't match up to factory worth a crap. We had to completely rework the fold over where the door lip would close. Rocker panel will fit like a glove, but haver to fix the door hinge to hang it before welding in the rocker.

Doesn't it drive you nuts when you buy "Goodmark" or other "quality replacement metal" only to find it is so far off from original that you wind up having to fab the !@#$ out of it to get it close. You would think that the importers would check the quality before selling this junk. I have yet to find an aftermarket lower door pillar, rocker, or cab corner that is close to factory original!!! ARG!!!!!!!!! Guess it is still better then aluminum foil and duct tape.

I'd do a step by step but I really don't know what the correct steps are. Its hard to know if its wrong if you never knew the correct way to start with:)
