Naw, I just can't bring myself to do it , I made the mistake of selling a good one a while back, I'll keep her out the salt and cherish her. I've got the ranger to rust out

I had a shop do it, but i patched the front fenders myself. I wouldnt have been able to get the body lines right, so i didnt even want to attempt it.

When they put them in they removed the doors so they could get all the gaps right and body lines right, you cant even tell they did it. I kept the old pannels, i'll post a few photos of the inside and outside of them here in a bit, they only showed a few bubbles, but in side they were solid rust.

While they were in there also rust proofed everything. The inner rocker is also part of the floor, mine had started to rust so they also took care if that.

Chances are, if you"ve got big old holes in your rockers the inner will need quite a bit of attention as well, and maybe even the floors.
