well rear driver side quarter panel is in. i will try to get some pics next time i go to work on her. i am getting ready to chop off all out and inside rocker panels on the bottom driver side. it is weird how 95% of all my rot is on the driver side only. but any ways any tips on completely replacing the whole bottom rocker section of a bay window would be sweet thanks every one. -Jefferia Bang Your Head

Just remember to measure 6 times , cut once.....  Eek!

 I usually place the replacement panel over the bad area and mark the body with a sharpie..... then cutout the bad section about a 1/4" below the mark...... then you can grind up and trim to match the panels correctly.....works every time..... Thumbs Up! 1
