I have the bolt in pieces from GMC Paul's. Livrat, the guy doing the work for me, was in on the development of the bolt-ins. He says there are no patch panels for the area circled - have to fabricate that. Unless someone else can chime in...

Could you pls. post up some more pics of the area in question, i've never seen one that complete. I have to fab up most of that area and as much information as i can get would be very helpful. That whole area looks real nice, are you just going to get rid of the rust and rehang a rocker?

It's starting to look like my only option is trying to fab that area. Doesn't look like an easy piece to fab up, unless your into doing that kind of stuff and have the proper tooling. I would think that quite a few folks could use that patch. Any chance our friend Livrat could produce several of those for us?

Just noticed the cutoff tool, looks like it has great accessibility into tight spots. Gotta get one of those.

Great work, nice to see original painted floors with the insulation. Looks like you caught it just in time
