Reply to "Rocker Panel Rust"

davidbMember

Repairing and replacing rocker and floor panels is no big deal. There is a great amount of worry about rust on these cars. But it's more stress than fact.

There are certainly some rust buckets, but I haven't met any. I have owned Panteras since the 70s and have many friends with P cars that are daily drivers.

Both my cars had some rust when I got them. And try as I may, they still paid their dues on wet roads and spent many a night outside in the rain (and even some snowy and salty roads!) over the next 25 years.

And honestly, they didn't get much worse. I'm sure if I cut them open I would find some rust, but keeping surface rust underneath the car at bay is no big deal. I have posted lots of pics of my car on this BB and I'm sure others will agree that my original paint still looks damn good 25 years later!
