    So I need to rockers and drivers floor. I haven't found anyplace other than JustJeepsters that has anything.
    Any other source out there for panels?
    Anyone use JJ to get panels, good or bad , long wait times or quick?

    I make the mistake of selling my everyday gas hog pickup figuring I could use the commando until I saved up for a new daily driver.
    That was until I lifted the carpet realized damn most of the foot area on the drivers side disappeared.

    Not to take away any sales from JJ but if you're not worried about full on restoration quality it's pretty easy to make your own. I've used a local place to get outer rockers bent up and also the rear body support. Can't remember what I paid but a whole lot cheaper. I'll be using them again to do some inner rockers when I get back to working on my 72.

    Nope not full resto. just solid and mostly rust free. Time is also sort of an issue.

    I don't have the tools to make much of anything and lack a welder. There is a shop close by in Rhode Island that deals with nothing but rust. No body work, no paint just cut and replace metal.
    So think I will be taking down for an estimate.
    I love poking through their projects page looking at some the beyond rusted out heaps and seeing the miracles they pull off.

    Check out their projects good way to kill 30 min or so.

    Yup, kind of hard to do it without the tools. Good idea to get an estimate and they can tell you exactly what you need or maybe they can make all the pieces for you.

    If it does not have to be pretty, brush, scrape and paint the rust with your favorite rust inhibiting paint (not Rustoleum), and pop rivet new panels over the holes. Use some adhesive around your patch panels, like urethane roof cement. It'll be water-tight, and will last for a few years.
