i need to replace the rockers and sills on my '47 plymouth 4dr. i've ordered some custom panels as a rocker and sill all in one piece. i am going to buttweld the rocker panel to the body but what should i do where the sill goes to the door pillars? i wanted to butt-weld those too, but this is my first attempt at replacing rockers and because my car is a 4dr i've got 3 pillars to join to. i don't really want to overlap anything on the sills because i'm worried about moisture getting trapped and i want a nice clean finish. any ideas?

or if anyone can give me any pointers as to what NOT to do would be appreciated.

thanks,

JB

I would not do simple butt welds. The pieces that you are replacing are structural and safety items. You should atleast use backers and plug weld them in place.

anybody else?

i'm going to be starting this project tomorrow so any tips would be helpful.
