Subject/description says it all. Are his the same as the overlays that Resoration Designs sells? Anybody have real pictures of either?

I got an email yesterday from Bill at Restoration Designs. Great information and pictures of the RD overlays. He couldn't get the pics posted here so I wanted to post them.
QUOTE Mike, The guy restoring this car replaced the upper and lower wheel house panels P330 & P331 and the inner rocker panels P301L/R before installing the frame stiffening kit P346L/R. The original parts in these areas were stamped out of 18 gage steel .046 thick so when you add the kit which is also .046 you are then at .092 thick which is thicker than 16 gage steel which is .065 thick and as you know 16 gage is really not sheet metal but thin metal plate. I think the frame kit is a cleaner more elegant way to go about this type of modification because the car still looks original, and the kit does not interfere with reinstalling the step plates and outer rocker panels.
