Right rocker now in final paint.
Same as the left; wanted to get all the hard and or blind areas before welding it in place.
Again will clean and spot repair all the burned areas
Initial fitment after underside paint to locate it in best position with the door.
All those patch panels are nearly undectable and without filler just paint.
Same with the rear patched areas. I can live with it.
There are some subtle irregularities with edge of the door and the entire run of the rocker. I'm playing a game of give and take between levelness with the closed door and the bottom gap. Trying for the best average fit I can get with all these variables.
With the rocker in its best position the last couple of inches of the doors front edge taper away from the rocker. Beginning to add small bits of weld to correct the gap. Won't go any further until the rocker is welded into final set position. Its all these little things that slow you down and they always happen.
The original holes for carpet trim strip worked out perfectly for my cleco pins after I drilled the holes through on the new rocker flange. Its in the final adjusted position and will be welding it in next.
Thanks for reading this! Justin
