Fender removal pics

[chevymotocross]

Started on the body work today with my truck. I bought 2 great used fenders, a used oem door, bed, new full rockers, and cab corners to redo the truck. Truck always looked great on the outside, but there was lots of hidden rust that the New England winters have done. Here are pics of the first fender removal.



Rusty Rocker:

Fenders looked great on the outside....






Had to use vise grips like this at times for those rust snapped bolts/clips:

Some of those bolts were in very hard spots. Most weren't even holding the fender since as you can see, it rotted away. The rocker is pretty bad. I will be taking the door off tomarrow and replacing that. Any tips would be great. I have the full rocker. My dad will be doing the welding. He welded slip-ons before with his truck. He likes these full ones since there won't be much filling work to do as they are hidden where the welds go.
