Man I hate having to do this every year. I need to make a crap guard. I don't think my rocker panels are stock due to the chalon.

The tire snakes were a fun surprise.

Not surprised. When I first got my '71 it was my only car and I had to drive it in the IA winter. I took them off several times every winter to clean everything out. Guess it helped, as I'm still driving it 52+ years later. But it's not my only car anymore! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Just goes to show, a bit of basic maintenance does make the difference. I'm sure the "original owner car" is also in great shape.

A couple years ago I was looking at a potential project, I asked the seller if I could remove the rockers to inspect, when the screws came out easily and very little debris was in the cavity, I jumped on her.

Still can't believe the OP with the "debris" collection. How/where was this guy driving?
