Zach, it looks like your doing all of your sheetmetal work yourself, Im looking for someone to help repair my drivers side rocker panel. It's rusting out right below the corner of the door. What do you suggest?

Hey guys i need some help. I have all the sheetmetal clamped in place and some of it tacked down, but i was wondering if i could get a second opinion from some of you guys to make sure i have it right. The main thing is the it seems like the drivers side quarter sits an 8th or a 1/4 inch further back then the passenger side, but it lines up with the rocker fine. If your interested in taking a look at the car I greatly appreciate it i'm ready to get this thing back on the road the right way.
Thanks,
Zach
Thanks,

Took the springs and shocks out, welded the shocks up and bolted them back in so it would sit low again 
Now to do something about those leaf springs. hrmmmm
