Re: Out of the Ditch = The Rebuild Begins ('72 GMC)

Man ... I wish! I butchered the hell out of this one and it still won't fit correctly. I have to bend it out away from the pillar like I did on the passenger side, but at a steeper angle. Just can't get it there without hammer work. I'm doing okay with all of this sheet metal and fab work, but this is just getting ridiculous.

So I am going to find a vendor that sells the rocker panels that are not made by Dynacorn. But, my luck it won't matter and I'll be right back where I am now.
