Tip is to use panel bond between the welds to help keep water out then drill one hole in rear rocker use then spray in wax with special hose to spray around till it runs out of seams repeat till it seals up all the seams and stop running out. I usually leave hole in rear rocker use a body plug to seal it so I can repeat every 2-5 years. Use same wax spray in cab corners helps them from rusting from inside out also on doors interior. The panel bond also allows you to glue it in place and hold it after it dries to weld.

I've been restoring old Chevys for nearly 40 years. I just bought both outer rockers for my daughter's '86 CUCV Army Blazer for $60.00 shipped. Some of this stuff is too cheap to make, even though we can fabricate them easily. As I approach my mid-50s, my arthritic knuckles and tendinitis-riddled elbows determine how adventurous I am nowadays. As usual, though, your work is incomparable. Thanks for making such entertaining content. Bravo.

That's great for a working shop, but it's nice to see real examples of doing comparable work with basic tools. Thank you for sharing this. I have a lot of videos to catch up on. I busted my vice screw and have been looking to get a new one slightly larger.

@15:40 .. This is the secret handshake .. The alchemy, the voodoo that separates "us" who watch, from "you": hand forming a curved flange! Most of us have discovered that sheet stock simply doesn't do that without ye olde magick. A video addressing this in particular detail I suspect would be.. well, awesome. I'd imagine (maybe I'm projecting) that your videos target those of us with a bit better than half a clue but lacking the industry experience. We've put a decade or two into the 120V MIG and feel not too shabby with what we've learned, but radiused flanges, corners, and shrinking still freak us right the frig out.

I appreciate the time and craftsmanship you put into your repairs. When you're done all of your work looks like one piece instead of several pieces put together. And that's before fillers and paint. I started watching another video put out by someone else and to cover up his less than desirable welding, he mixed up a bunch of bondo to cover it up. I couldn't watch the rest of it. You might think this video was long, but I wanted to see more. Keep up the great work. :)
