Last night, though small in scale as far as complicated work, was a big night. I began install of the outer rocker. No going back now.
I started by, after primer, installing loose and finding all of the spot weld areas, took them to bare metal with a roloc red scotch brite pad and cleared some of the area around. Clearing the area around allowed me to spray weld-thru and ensure it would coat the bare areas in the process of welding (weld thru turns the metal galvanized to my understanding). I did this to both sides of the spot weld areas, to ensure good burn in and (hopefully) longevity.
