Anyone have any original vert body parts. Might need a piece of this and I piece of that.
Anyone (maybe Dynocon) have a lead to where I could get good inner rocker panels for a 68 vert? Pinch weld is too buggered to be worth patching and full rockers are big bucks.
Make sure you guys keep rodents out of your cars in winter. Rodents I figure buggered my floor pinch welds. I found yet another nest in the car.
Nest scoreboard:
1 in RH upper cowl 1 in lower RH cowl above rocker 1 in LH inner and 1 in outer LH rocker 1 in RH inner and 1 in outer RH rocker nuts shells etc in front fenders
There are 3 horizontal paths in your vert rocker panels. I had to open them up on the ends (rear of the car) and cut open a hole in both fronts to locate and remove the nesting material. No way to remove the material without opening them open. You can image the condition the rockers are in now...swiss cheese. When the rockers plug up the ends of the rockers and entry into the rear window areas rust out.
I will post some pics next week. Finding this stuff is gratifying in that at least I know what the condition of every nook and cranny is and the potential crap that might not have been remove by the professionals.
Body panels on order:
complete floor pan with braces LH toe board RH toe board LH, RH inner rockers lower portion of RH INNER & OUTER cowl patching
