Decided to move back to the passenger side for a bit. Removed the front fender and door so I could size up the rocker better. Fitting the one solid original AMC rocker I got from a parts car long ago. |

Looks real good. Wish mine looked that nice when I started cutting to look!

Did a quick fix on more holes that had been cut in the radiator support. |

Moved back to the passenger side rocker. Bottom was a bit rotten so I stitched a piece to the underside. Burned it in. I really wanted to keep an original AMC part there since it's got a slight curve to it and the reproductions I've seen don't. Now I gotta work something out on the driver's side. |

Nice metal work there, Rebel. I really gotta learn to weld. The Rambler doesn't need it. Hopefully never will, but there are so many more projects you can take on when you can weld. |

Thanks! Got the rocker welds ground down and made a patch for another rotted area. Should have that burned in tomorrow. -Steve- |

Burned in and painted. Now I have to choose what to attack next, driver's side rocker or passenger door. Got a new old stock passenger side doorskin but the door took a good impact back in the '80s as evidenced by the bottom. Might use one of the spare doors I have. |

Cut the doorskin off the passenger side door. I don't know...... may cut one of my spare doors to see if it'll be easier to work with. Someone enlarged the original door frame cutout for door speakers before I got the car. You wouldn't see it with the doorpanels in place but I still want it restored. -Steve- |

Definitely got a rust monster there unfortunately. Kudos for having the patience and discipline to go thru and deal with all of it properly.
