I was really scared to look! Early on I found some swiss cheese on the firewall near the battery tray. Look like water had collected behind the sound dampening pad/sponge. There's also a little 1" hole right where the fuel pump mounts. It just seemed likely there'd be more problems.
Everything else checked out solid though (suspension mounts, seams, etc), but I was still afraid to pull the rockers off. I finally bit the bullet this afternoon and found that there wasn't even surface rust! They're PERFECT! I feel dumb for having waited this long! Pulling the rockers for the first time is kinda like getting that first colonoscopy... or something... um, yeah. I did find that the fiberglass rocker panels I bought from Pelican are too short in the front. They line up at the back fender arch and jack tube, but are about 1/2" short of reaching the front wheel arch. Has anyone else tried using these? Not sure what Pelican is going to do for me being that I bought the rockers from them almost two years ago and spent the time to paint them last week. Bah. THE LONGS ARE PERFECT! And before you get the chance: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif) I'll take some tomorrow AM, |
