Pulled my rocker covers today to inspect for rot. Unfortunately I found significant rust on both jack points and the driver’s side long has a good size rust hole. I’m going to cut and patch the bad spots in the longs, but I’m trying to avoid a complete resto right now and I don’t want to get into exterior bodywork. The rear fenders are in pretty good shape but they seem to block access to the top flange of the jack point plate. Does anyone know if the jack points can be replaced correctly without cutting out a lower portion of the rear fender?
