the rockers on both sides were completely gone, and were so bad that they had to be cut out.. drilling spot welds sure got rid of the spot welds, but the rest of the metal was fused together through the powers of rust
here is the progress. didnt take any as per finished photos or progress through the whole process though lol, but im sure everyones seen enough go off and come on
wish i had a pic of it right now, after most of the thin layer of bondo was sanded away, its pretty smooth and stock looking, its not completely molded in, so i still have that lip that the truck has stock where the rocker connects through spot welds.
the overhead in the truck was pretty messed up, the entire head panel was rusted through so much, that the guy was driving it i guess loved rust falling in his face as he drove... i had a literal bucket of rusted metal fall through the overhead after cutting it out to replace
i couldnt get the patch panel to get in without having to severely bend it for the life of me. so i cut my losses....in half
i know, i know, prettiest welds youve ever seen from a 200 dollar home depot wire feed mig special huh..... if you havent noticed, still learning on this too...
and heres proof that the angle grinder is my best friend
