SHOP UPDATE: The process!

I just thought some people would enjoy seeing the process of patching this back together.

There was a large gap between the floor bracing and the door post. I wanted to have a very clean vertical seam where the new panel meets the door posts so I fabricated a filler panel to straighten up the post and fill the gap.

I fabricated a similar panel for the front door pillar as well.

Now that I have a straight post on both sides I tacked in the new rocker panel.

Now I am test fitting the new filler panel and marking it for trimming.

Here is the new panel installed after bead rolling and welding. I am very pleased with the way this turned out. Should look really nice once its painted.
