How should I treat the rust on the inside of the foot well. this area is one of those never exposed areas that hadn't been treated by the factory. Rust doesn't look bad and I probably can't do anything but treat it with some sort of rust inhibitor or encapsulator.

Don't worry about the holes I will get those all cleaned up and oval-ed out. Should those holes be chamfered to limit possible cracks?

Why not run under the door sill though the triangle gussets? IMHO that would be a better solution than cutting into the longitudinal's.

Oil lines would be protected by outer rocker, more easily accessible, and most importantly doesn't allow water into the most important structural element of the vehicle.

I may be overly sensitive to the topic given that I'm currently fixing holes from an A/C install. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
