suggestions for 68 2000 outer rocker panel sources
Noob poster here. Working to bring a 68 roadster back to life. It appears the driver's side outer rocker panel is a goner. Any suggestions for a source for a replacement? Cannot seem to find any at the known roadster parts sites, and short of a fabrication I'm at a loss. Would appreciate experienced restoration suggestions. Thanks.

I got mine from Rallye. They are available as well from a company called Alpha something, who I believe started out selling parts for Alpha Romeos. A member here posted around six months ago about getting panels from them.

Re: suggestions for 68 2000 outer rocker panel sources
Do you have to replace the whole panel?
I fabricated both front end caps and about a 12" section around one jack hole, but covered the holes on both sides.
It's not a complicated panel.

I should have thought of you Ross. Sorry. I just cut the jack hole out of the old panel and welded it into the new one.sports imports wrote:I make outer skin rocker panels. Have made them for 20 years. $120 a side. In stock. No jack hole.

Re: suggestions for 68 2000 outer rocker panel sources
The panel is swiss cheese from previous dent-pulling. Once we got all the bondo off the car (1/2 thick in places!) we could see the left side took a fair amount of damage somewhere along the way. Left rear quarter panel has been replaced--not well but replaced.
Thanks all-I'll send an email to Ross--also need a 68 hood-mine's cracked at the cowl opening. What fun it is getting down to metal to see what lies beneath the paint!

Re: suggestions for 68 2000 outer rocker panel sources
All of the hoods tend to crack there due to rust between the front and rear panels where they overlap. I repaired mine by cutting it all apart and welding it back together. It took a lot of time.gnalch wrote:The panel is swiss cheese from previous dent-pulling.
