<VV> Rocker Panels

[J R Read_HML]

Cecil,

The verts have a vertical stiffener inside the rocker that the others do not 
have.  Is that gone too?

I've not checked the C catalog on this, but it used to be that you needed 
two panels for each side when doing a vert.  Don't know if this is still 
true, but you may want to check on that.

Subject: <VV> Rocker Panels


I have a 65 Convertible that I have discovered after owning it a few years 
that the rocker panels had been patched up with bondo to cover up a lot of 
rust.  After many many cases of jacking up the car to fix up this and that, 
it is now obvious that I need to do (or have done, since I'm not much of a 
body may) the rocker panel again.  I would appreciate any advise on having 
this done before I begin.  The patch panels that Clark's lists in their 
catalogue (which I will need, whatever I decide to do), are heavier gage 
metal than coupes or 4 doors, but thinner than factory.  Thus far I have 
only one estimate for labor to have these done, which may or may not be a 
good deal.  (with me supplying the patch panels...4 as I read Clark's parts 
manual).  The quote I have for labor is $600.00.  Does this seem to be a 
fair price, or should I shop around some more. Again, I do not feel that 
this is a job that I am capable of doing.  Thanks for any input.
