Does anyone know where I can purchase a good "used" Driver's side Rocker Panel for my '69.
If not, can anyone tell me where I can purchase a Reproduction. Who makes the best replacement ???

I've used the "US made" reproductions from Rick's. The stamping is good, and they fit very well. These are the outer rockers only.

...thanks KYVOX !! I will get one and try it out. The one that I purchased from Classic
Industries was not a very good reproduction of my original.

Make sure you get the full repro rocker and not the skin. The skn is crap. The full rockers are great.

...thanks Kurt...
Now for the next question...
What tool do you use for removing the "Spot Welds", used to hold the Original Rocker Panel.
...and where can I get one ??

You need a spot weld bit. You can get them at an auto body supply store. Heres one from Eastwood.

You'll need the larger, 1/2" bit for rocker welds
