Then the A pillar... HartRob, in his Superburb thread, described this area as a five-dimensional puzzle. I tend to agree. Everything comes together in the same place, then traps dirt/moisture and rots it all.

I cut out all of the offensive metal, including floor, inner rocker, kick panel, A pillar, floor support, and a small bit of the rocker box directly under the support. Decided to patch the support, as opposed to replacing it, as there was only a small area gone and the replacements I received are paper thin garbage--I used a scrap of one of the fender patches to repair the existing piece. Followed that with buttoning the rocker box back up, then ended the day with POR-ing as much of the inside of the box as I could reach. Next up: 5D puzzle
