I think it's called progress

Looks REALLY familiar! But I pussed out and had the body shop do the outer rockers and 1/4 panels.

 

Did you find much rot in the inner rocker panels? Mine were just about gone at the front and rear for about 3-7" and I had to make the replacements by hand (did it out of 1/16" steel), with all the beads, bends, etc. That was a TON of work with meager hand tools. But the front and rear rocker boxes transfer a lot of load throughout the unibody, so I felt it was worth it - even with the subframe connectors.

Oh yea, there was quite a bit of rust (imagine that). So out came most of the inner rocker and I too fabbed up a panel with hand tools. Not exactly fun but it was important like you said. I just hope I did a good enough job.
