I'm getting ready to do my rockers and cab corners. I have done rockers and floor pans once before in a 57 chevy 210.. first side took me what seemed like forever, but the second side was much, much faster.. time and patients did it for me... but I'm hoping that this time will be easier. Basically, make sure everything is supported before you do any final welding. I think on the first rocker I did on the car, I had the door on and off 5 or 6 times. On the second one, I took the door off to cut the old out and fit the new one, put it on to fit everything up nice and straight, tacked everything, and then welded it. Took the door off one more time just to do the welding on the front of the rocker up (the hinge side). Best thing to remember (as this applies to all jobs, especially with all sheetmetal), once you have reached your boiling point when something goes wrong, you have to fight off the urge to go get the 3lb sledge hammer... hahahahahaha
