RUST in the ROCKER PANEL?

[louweed]

I'm replacing parts and having a body shop paint everything with por15. I'm restoring the entire underbody piece by piece, followed by engine bay and body, etc. In two or three years it will be as if "off the showroom floor." a couple shops around me can fab just about anything if I can't get parts from merlin.

whoa. you are restoring the "entire underbody"? >>> all at once or piece by piece over a period of time? btw do you have pics of your VX? would love to see this project of the underbody. thanks!

I am going to have a rust repair/restoration/new paint party once mine is out West and away from the rust belt .

I found the same rocker rust when I did the LineX job. I just filled the rear fenders with expanding foam after removing the cancer portions. Then, shave the foam down even with the metal, LineX over that, never worry again
I am POR15ing the frame as well. Not terribly worried about the frame as it was all surface stuff. I did the axles a few years ago, just bought a cheap HF baking soda blaster and then primered, POR15 the housings. A lot of labor, but nothing terribly difficult to do.

The shop will be taking pics for me as I get work done. Mine is not bad, except the rockers and muffler. My frame is great. It will be piece by piece since I don't have the boatload of cash all at once. First the rockers will be fixed and then next i'll have the axles done, etc. This year I also plan on doing all fluids. I just want mine to last 40 or 50 years. :P
