I have 1968 coupe that is in need of a new floor& rocker panels. The tunnel is in good shape everything else rusted out. The body is off the subframe. Could any of you guys or gals give me advice at where to begin. My son and myself are determined to restore this car just need some advice to get started. Any pics would be great. Thanks in advance for all of your help. Jim W

I posted some pictures in this thread. I'd start with a good MIG welder, a sand blaster (and a lot of time). I didn't need rockers (or tunnel).

This was also a project with my son. - We're on the home stretch now.The rotisserie is gathering dust in my barn if you want to borrow it (I'm in Chester County PA). It made the welding a lot easier.

Wow. That's agood offer. Sure makes thigs more pleasant when you aren't getting welding slug down you neck everyday.

We have the welder and sand blaster. I would love to borrow that rotisserie from you. I am located in Pike county Pa. Northeast PA. I noticed in your post you have door braces too. Do you still have them available? Thanks for the offer. I will try to make arrangements with after the holiday if thats allright with you. What is the best way to stay in contact with you? Jim W

Struts.... I send you a PM with my E-mail. I do have the door braces. - Sounds like them might be needed if rockers are that bad.
