Re: Is this the rocker panel/
Can you post another photo showing the whole car so as to see the relationship and location of parts?

Re: Is this the rocker panel/
Your inner fender is gone and you can see directly into the rocker box. You can buy these in sections from EMS. Just replaced mine last year and it is a challenge if you have never worked on these before. Fortunately, I had a lot of help and a friends convertible in the shop to compare it to. After we purchased all three rocker sections I ended up fabricating some of the pieces because I was not totally satisfied with the fit to my running boards. As you replaces these, have some good running boards on hand to check for proper fit and bolt hole allignment. The rockers have a slight curve to them and this must be correct.
Good luck with your project!

Re: Is this the rocker panel/
albjerryg, Not knowing what our plans are for your car ie;concours, stock, modified, git' er done, etc , nor what your fabrication skills are, you might find this thread on the H.A.M.B. of interest. I thought it an ingenious and satisfactory 'work around' at a significant cost savings. I priced 3 piece replacement rocker box sets from EMS. About $700 for the material to do both sides. Larry
