Default Re: '65 GMC 1500 project. From the Netherlands

Long time no post. Have been busy graduating.
Went ahead and tackled the driver side rocker and floor after completing the door and front fender.

Removed the rocker, which turned out to be not too corroded, except that the spotwelds were a pain to remove.
The inner rocker had definitely seen better days, so did the floor around the kick panel.

Didn't buy the inner rocker + floor section patch panel, figured I make my own out of sheet metal. For the other side I'll buy the premade panel, though... Saves a lot of time.

Ended up repairing the inner rocker. Removed the bottom of the A pillar, since there was a lot of rust in the floor there. Steve (tbucketnut) sponsored me with the patch panels some time ago, thanks Steve.

Cab mounts were still solid except for the a small section that I could weld in easily.. Was glad that they did, since it gave me a good point of reference to work from.
