New rocker boxes...sweet, tough job, looks like you did well. Just look at it this way ..at $55 an hour for shop work, you just increased the value of your rebuild...lol If it was like mine it was slow and took twice as much time as I thought..

That looks great! How did you find the quality of the rocker box fitment compaired to the original and who did you get them from?

Dude, welding my boxes in sucked! I was on the floor welding upwards and I burned myself more times than I can count...

Looks good Alexis, Rg

Is that a speaker hole in the door? :lol:

Any progress is good progress. Mine hasn't been touched in well over a month, and I have only put about 40 hours into it all year. To top it off I was certain it would be on the road by May, 2006.

Thanks guys hopefully it'll be done one day.

RokCrln - The Box is like most repo products. The top were it welds against the uper floor pan wasn't as wide as the O.E. I had to do some bending were the rocker caps go's on. Other then that I was happy but it was a kicker in the rear at times.

RaggedJim - Welding upside down does suck. I just turned up the voltage and sped the wire up a little and got it down. I also use a leather jack I bought at a welding shop to protect my chest and arms.

Pop's- I let it run lose while I weld so I blind it or freak it out. It just hide behind the box the has my cowl and eats away at the cardboard.:rolleyes:
