    Drivers side rocker patch...................(Pics)

    So this side was ah little worse then the passenger side was. The end that goes into the wheel well was gone. Luckily for some reason this side of the new rocker was ah much better fit and the end was even the right contour? Also the lower portion of the outer wheel house was gone too, so I started to make ah patch but quickly disovered I'll be replacing the whole quarter skin anyway. I'll show pics of that in another post.....

    I did full quarters on my first mustang and vowed to NEVER do full quarters again, they fit horrible!  I'll be doing full face skins on this one. AND you'll be happy about this. I've dicided to go ahead and do the DSE mini tubs while I'm at it

    Are you doing their frame rail kit too? What suspension are you going to use for the rear?

     Yeah the DSE mini tub "Kit", comes with the altered frame rail section you'll need to gain the full 2"so I'll be cutting out ah peice of my frame to fit that in. As for suspension I'm guna do RRS both front, and rear. I'll have to section and narrow one of the cross members to fit in between the mini tubs in the rear , but RRS factors that in with there design and even gives instruction on how to do it .So it should be no problem.
