Repair rocker panels for a '99?
Both of my rocker panels are starting to rust through. I have searched the web for replacement patch panels for the rockers, but I have not found a source. I might have to go to the body shop to see where they would get them. Any one out there replaced theirs? I want to do the job right and not put a bunch of plastic filler in.

Another idea...
Fiberglass... Cut back all the damaged and rusted metal and use fiberglass to reshape the body. Since you have a problem with water/mud entering the body. At least this will not rust if done properly. While I was there I would find the cause of the water entering the body too.
Just a poor man's idea...

Yeah, I might end up doing the "Chevy man fix" of fiberglass and bondo. Maybe even leave it in primer grey forever I just wanted to do the job right and drill out some spot welds and break out the mig to patch it back together.
