Wow, she had the cancer bad eh Rick!?! I had to fix one of the rockers on my convertible, behind the pass door, I used fibreglass. Actually, once I cut out all the bad stuff, I used spray foam to shape a mold and then fibreglassed over that.
The only thing I didn't realise was what an odd drainage system these convertibles have..water drains out through the rockers from the inside of the car. Since the top can't seal perfectly, where it bends at the rear top edge of each door, water can actually get in. Then there's a collector that funnels it down into the rockers and out. Odd eh?! No wonder they rust out, its a moisture trap! Ever since I've been racking my brain trying to think of a way to redesign this..but might have to live with it........
Great build post btw,
