Re: [T3] Fasty Update

Yes, you remembered pretty well.....Keith.

The rockers were an area of concern for me because of the rust.  However, I 
have already lifted the nose and the rear individually without any noticeable 
flexing.  There is still quite abit of good metal on both sides.  I need to 
repair quite abit, but it seems to be enough.  

At least lifting up with the body rightside up.  The rocker is in tension.  I 
might have to rethink the need for bracing when I flip it over.  The rocker 
will be in compression then.  Might not be enough for that.  I will have to 
cut a 2x4 and wedge it in the bottom of the door opening.  That will provided 
a good brace against the compression there.
