Rocker panel install - 05/25/20 10:53 PM
I was wondering if anyone could advise me on installing new rocker panels on my 69 Sport Satellite.
The SS has its own rocker panels and the clips are unique to that panel only. The clips have two anchors and thereby require two holes per clip. I don't have the clips and they are hard to come by. My panels are not in the best of shape either
What I want to do is use panels from a satellite or RR which only require one hole per clip. Because my existing holes dont line up I have to drill new ones
I was thinking of covering the area with masking tape, holding the new panel in place and tracing it out on the tape and then using that as a reference. I could mark one hole at each end and use a chalk mark for the rest keeping them all in line.
Whats the best method to. use as I'm scared to be drill holes in my almost new paint job...............Thanks for the help
