Rust near jack point... Do I bother welding in new piece, or just cut it out and leave the holes? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) I was thinking about cutting off the jack tubes anyway.

Other then the couple of holes I've pointed out in the pictures, they look pretty good. You can see however that there's a consistent line of rust along the top seam that runs the length of the rocker panel.
I will be grinding that down, but worry if this was a weld bead or something that will need to be re-welded? Does it hold 'things together' at all? It runs the entire length of the long. |

Well at least I can repot the plants in the house with all of the dirt that came out when removing the rocker panel cover...

amazing similarities with your pics and mine LOL... I'll put more of mine up tonight. I also busted off all but 2 rocker screws. Had to use vice grips and snapped em off.
