Spot weld locations for rocker panel on a 66?
 
I cant recall when removing the old rocker since it was so badly rusted if there were spot welds along the top of it to the inner rocker panel. From the assembly manual I see the locations that are on the pillar ends and the bottom where it meets the inner rocker panel, but thats it. Anyone know if there is supposed to be a gap between the inner and outer rocker? Or spot welds?

no gap, they are spot welded but not as many, maybe 8 to 12, should have notches cut also for drain holes in them. You can't have to many spot welds on the pillars either.

Gibson did a great job in his home garage on his 63, and from what I understand it was his first time. His video's are informative and entertaining. Here we go !
