Infected Mushroom:
Picked up those new rockers a while ago, but they were not much better, still too wide and the upper profile didn't match at all. The rockers were not an American Design, but another Taiwan product. However, the stamping was much better than the Dynacorns, corners were sharp and crisp, too bad they don't fit.
So the solution was to use the original upper profile (what was left of it) and blend it into the lower and inner Dynacorn rocker panel. It was a huge job, but it fits much better now I think. Still not completely done with the welding, but I'm not in a hurry :)
Also had to level up the car again, this time with a digital level gauge. Now it is 100% level :)
Infected Mushroom:
New rear framerails. Original plan was to replace only the left one because of damage, but decided at a later time to also replace the right side. Both are Dynacorn and seems to be of very good quality.
Moli:
Good job, didn't think the car needed to be this much restored when it was here in Iceland. Good luck! =D>
1965 Chevy II:
Great craftsmanship,I agree with Moli it didn't look like it needed that much work,thanks for keeping us posted.

You're both right, it actually don't need all that sheetmetal replaced, but there are bits and pieces here and there that needs to be repaired, and instead of patching up the car and at the same time trying to clean up years of dirt and rust inside every nook and cranny, I'd rather replace the entire part. It's also good to have a solid strong base to weld on. I order all the new parts directly from USA myself, so cost is kept low.
I'll continue the restoration next year, in the meantime;
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year :))))
