I'm repairing long and inner rocker panel - shocker.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dead horse.gif) I need a picture or mark up where to cut front door jamb. I think that I might get away w/o cutting front fender. I searched buch of threads, but they only show where to cut quarter panel, firewall, jack post area and nothing about front door jamb. I noiced that people leave top part of the orginal rocker panel and cut top piece off the new one to fit. I would like to replace the enire panel w/o butchering the new piece. Any help is greatly appreciated. Attached image(s)

IC your issue and there is no standard for this cut.
You need to get to the top of the long and its really going to depend upon how good you weld. You need to move that lower bar to the inside and weld a plate on the inside of the long to get it out of the way, then take off the bottom of the door pillar and fix the long... I would suggest you take alot of measurements priot to doing that cut so you can get the door pillar back in its proper place. Rich |

Wingnut,
I built it myself. All materials were bought in Lowes. Door striker plate connects to both door hinges. I don't have any pics, but I can take some post them tomorrow, if you interested.

I cut my post pretty much like yours and then cut the long out maybe an in inch below the cut in the post. My long was solid in that area. Notched the NEW long carefully to match the cut of the old long. Took the section I cut out of the new long and cut a strip out of that about 2" wide. I drilled holes in what remained of the old long (under the post) and holes in the new long along the notch. Then, I plug welded the strip behind the notch to back up what would otherwise be a straight butt weld. I *think* I took some pics of this process. Would it help to see them if I can find them?
