You should be able to get Fuzor products at your local paint supplier.
BUT, I wouldn't use it on a rocker panel. These are too structural in my opinion. For simple gas door,door handles/locks, marker lights, etc......the stuff is fine. The gas filler should be fairly easy to just make yourself. Their may be one available, but you could make it in less time than it would tak to buy. |

well the autobody teachers etc say fusor is stronger than a weld and will work just fine for a rocker.....and the body man around here wants 125 to replace a rocker....
as far as the filler patch i dont have any metal working tools.....and i want it to be perfect to match the slope.

The stuff is stronger than a weld in "perfect conditions". Which would be a lap joint with plenty of overlap for the glue to adhere to. There are just too many bad angles/contours to a rocker "patch", especially since it is a structural member. You can do it if you want to.........but I wouldn't.
You are the one who asked...  As far as the patch for the filler hole. It is nothing more than a sheetmetal circle and a little hammering. I wouldn't bet that the one that you can buy (assuming there is one) would be a perfect fit anyway, so you would still have to tweek it... From another thread...... Quote:

gas patch
You can get the perfect gas filler patch from a junk truck. Just cut it out of the opposite side. (pass. side; same location).
