Here's some current progress

I don't know who made this rocker, but it snapped into place...Fits like a glove to the original location. The bottom rear of the rocker panel has to be pulled in some more to keep door alignment correct in that area

Hardest part so far was getting rid of the old rusty metal and attempts at patch panels, about a weeks worth of cutting to get it to this point. Now its about time to consider some bracing so I can remove longitudes and test fit the floor pan-next week...

One problem on the lower 'A' post, seems the rust went up pretty high, I'll have to deal with the nut plate for the lower hinge
