Hey guys, Been looking for some original rocker panels from a donor car to section onto my Duster. What I was wondering was, are all a body outer rocker panels the same? I'm guessing the 4 door cars would not, but what about 2 doors? I really would only need the section from about the quarter...

Problem is finding a donor car to section that piece with. The Northeast is awful on cars. You cant find these cars around here anymore. The ones that are solid enough that these areas wouldnt be toast, are way to nice to cut up. My parts car is good for some pieces but not the rockers! I've...

Chugging along slowly. I went ahead and bought a Blair spot weld cutter set, with some replacement bits. They really work good, very easy to separate the metal. Biggest problem is that they are fragile. Ended up shearing off the teeth of all 4 bits I bought. They never got dull, just broke...

Oh, I do have a Resto Thread going on here! Just like you explained my outers are rotted under the quarters. Here is a link to my thread. (Sorry for high jacking) http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=230771

Wow. I just happened upon your thread today, and I just had to read the whole thing. You know your **** man! I am doing a lot of the same on my Duster restoration. The condition of mine is very similar to yours, minus front frame rail issues. I'm having a lot of problems with my outer rockers...

Trying to get back at it. Decided to try and find someone willing to section some rockers and send them to me. Have had a few people offer, but nothing has happened so far. So needing something to get accomplished I decided to start replacing the floor pan. I was worried about the body...

Hey guys, Been working on my Duster and I hit a snag when I discovered that the rocker panels under the quarter lap are rusted. I am looking for someone willing to cut out a section on their parts car. I would like it as a whole chunk, from in front of the lap, to the wheel well flange...

Haven't gotten much progress done on the Duster in awhile. Kinda at a standstill with the rocker panels. They are giving me hell! Where I last left off I said I was going to media blast the outer rockers just around the effected rust area, from the lower quarters rusting away. Picked up...

Well after a long hiatus I am finally back to my Duster build. So long in fact that the thread got archived from lack of activity. Where I left off in my last post was all the way back in June where I was starting the transformation of the empty bay in my friends pole barn into...

Sorry for the lack of updates guys. Let me start where I left off with. I'll try to bring everyone back to speed. When I left off I was working towards getting some tubs fabbed. Well that didn't exactly get done. I ground the welds smooth and sprayed a layer of weld through primer over the...

Hope you guys are still watching the progress. Another update. I went ahead and brought my truck into shop, had a caliper lock up on me. That week I was short on cash so I decided to clean up shop a little bit and scrap the leftover sheet metal that I was hiding under the car and under the...

Got a lot of work done on the duster this week. I started by taking the power shear to the quarter panels and cut the majority of them out. I will leave the spot welds for later. Good thing too, as I almost forgot to line the door gaps up for proper quarter fitment later. After the quarters were...
