Thanks LUV. I've been keeping an eye on Merlot and looks like you are making some good progress on it also.

Well I thought I had fixed all the rust until I media stripped it and found a some more on the 3rd door rocker lip and floor section where the door seal goes. I had planned to just just repair the lip and patch the floor. But the more I thought about it, the more I figured I'd better fix it now or I would be kiicking myself in the butt in a couple of years when the rust finally popped through. So, I ordered a new rocker and cut the old one off. Just my luck, I cut off a perfectly good rocker. It had a little bit of surface rust, but otherwise was in good shape. Guess it's better to be safe than sorry. On a better note, the new rocker fits great and will only require minor adjustments. The old rocker did come in handy, I'm using it for a patch in the curved floor section .
