Re: [T3] Need rocker panel help


<x-charset iso-8859-1>Here's what I did to fix my inner rockers..
http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Shop/1911/fastback.html   

I did away with the heater tube.  I had a buddy break the metal and it
turned out pretty good.  I cut the rocker out with a cutoff wheel like Keith
suggested.  There is several layers of metal there.  I chiselled the spot
welds on the bottom and then ground it smooth before putting the new piece
on.  Since the new pieces were fabricated I had to measure for the nut
plates and weld them in.  I just took some scrap 3/16ths  and tapped them
then spot welded them in.  I did both sides of my fasty.

Haven't done much to the thing in the last several months.  Actually I'm
looking to get rid of it to make room for an early bus.  
Anyone need some parts??? The rear fenders have the "repaired" vents.  

Also looking to get rid of the 902/02 5 speed.

Hope the pics help.

Dave
