That sounds great, I had to make that panel from scratch on the blue '65 and it was a pain, glad the repro's fit well!

Don't know how I've missed this build so far. Did a full read and subscribed. Looks great and I'm trying to get to this stage were your at.
Great build

I got a little more done on the passenger side. I got the lower door pillar patch fitted, welded in and ground down, and drilled out the 4 bolt holes so they all line up correctly. Finished welding the inner rocker/floor panel along the vertical side, and started cleaning up and fitting the outer rocker. The outer rocker ended up having a couple of small places that I need to patch before it goes back on but the initial trial fit is great at the front and the rear is unchanged so it is fine. I also need to spray some epoxy primer on the bare stuff before the outer rocker goes back on. Then it's on to the driver side. I'm still looking for a driver side floor/firewall piece (toe board) so I don't have to fab one up. If anybody has a cab they are cutting up or parting out that has a rust free floor section that I can get a patch from, let me know.
I'll post some more pix soon.

I was getting pretty far down the list so I thought I'd better post an udate. No new pics yet but I had to weld some patches in 3 or 4 spots on the outer rocker where the rust was starting to eat through from the inside. I test fitted the rocker and it fits good. I guess my patching so far has been good. On my next days off I'm hoping to get it welded back on.
I took advantage of a decent day and shot some epoxy primer on the steering wheel and the roof top clearance lights I've been restoring. The wheel and the lights have been patched and sanded and now that they're primered I can get them prepped and painted during the rainy season.
Here are a couple of pics before primering. I'll get some more updated pics on my next days off.
