    I am looking to find somebody that is really good with a welder. I have a smashed rocker panle on my driver's side and I ordered a new rocker panel. i should have it around the 15th. question is... Does anyone know somebody that can cut out the old one and weld a new one in? I've heard it's a pain in the a$$ because you have to seperate the pinch welds and cut it out along the door jams, so if not done properly my doors won't close right. Any help wpuld be awesome!

    Never leave dents. Instead call a pro to do some painless dent removal.

    Seems like it would be easier to drill a hole if needed and pull it. Then weld the hole back up. But hey, what do I know.

    True story. Pulling the dents and filling it would be the best way to go for rockers.
