Rocker Panels

[Mitchell]

Has anyone purchased rocker panels from claasic2current? The panels are 18 ga. They are $24.95.

Thanks,

I have a set I got on amazon. I have not installed them yet but they are not full length. they do not go under the rear fender section like the original ones do. I think they are more of a repair panel. I will use them when i'm ready though.

Thanks for the reply. I had purchased and installed the longer rocker panels. Unfortunately when I installed one of them and I set it to high. The door drags when I shut it. I plan to remove the rocker panel and these appear to be what I need to accomplish the repair.

Thanks,
Mitchell

Update on the panels. I ordered and received the rocker panel. The panel is 19 ga steel. I was pleasantly surprised at how thick the panel is. The panel will fit between the two original seams. Hopefully I can paint the Ghia soon.

I had replaced the reinforcement rail when I started the project a few years ago. After removing the rocker panel I am going to replace, I was happy to find the reinforcement rail still rust free.
