I got some budget rockers that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) needed lots of work.
First cut about 1" off the top and had to add 3/4" to the bottom. Cut about 1/4 off the front but I still don't like how it flares out different than the body lines. On the bottom of the door there is a bevel in the body that the rocker follows until it flares out. At that point the rocker flares as much as the body, not staying set in as much as the bevel. I am thinking it would look better If the rocker didn't flare out so much. Is that clear? I would like to see how others have handled this trasition. Attached image(s) |

Yes, that's a very nice car Ron.
Nice work. I did see someone section out the bottoms of the flares, maybe it was you. It's still not too late for me to do the same, I like the look. Are your rockers Getty Design? My thinking was, if they all fit like (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) just get the cheap ones and make them work. I am sure it helps with a good rocker to start with. |
