Garbage Rocker Panels

[GASoline71]

This is a snippet from my build thread and wanted to get some input. Basically should I continue with what I have? Or pull it off and start again with a different brand of rocker panel... since not everybody is following my build thread... I wanted to toss it up here in the open forum... please read on!



Metal thrashing mad!

I have been beating my head against a wall with this passenger side outer rocker. I see and hear about cats replacing them like... "super easy, didn't have to modify anything..." Not the case with mine. I found out after I have this thing halfway installed and have had to refabricate the entire front of it, that I have panels made by "Dynacorn". Apparently they are garbage. Well... FML.

In the pics you'll see how far I had to bend the damn thing away from the pillar to get it to line up with the door and the fender. Plus like I mentioned above I had to refab the front of it to get it to even mate up with anything. I had to make a relief cut towards the inside near the door lip that I will have to "massage" into place with strategic welds and hammer shots. I've also had the door and fender off 300 times and aligned over and over again.

So I'm either going to quit with this one, and remove the welds I already have in it and junk it for panels made by a different source... or I can make this POS work and then get a different brand panel for the drivers side. Glad I started on the passenger side so it won't pi$$ me off every time I opened the door!
