Does anyone make the Rocker Panel Reiforcemens for 61's?

[Rich P.]

I am in the process of restoring a 61 for a customer and the inner rocker metal reinforcements on both sides are rusted. I was wondreing if anyone makes these or do I have to scoure the used parts suppliers?

Thanks, Rich

If anyone does, it probably would be Vette Products of Michigan. I hate the Parts 123 cataloging system they use or I would try to look it up for you

I think Corvette Central sells them but am not positive. Also there are some on e bay right now. Just sort on "Corvette 1962 Rocker panels" that's how I came across them. Rich

Hey guys thanks for the responces. I checked them out and unfortunatly have to look for used pieces as the repros don't include the ends or upper bracket. Already tried Grossmullers with no luck. Thanks again.

Rich -

You might try Paragon Vintage - they have lots of C1 mid-sections in their boneyard.

Rich, I took good measurements from my old rusted ones and took them to a sheet metal shop who made new ones for me.I don't recall the exact price I was charged but it was less than $100 Russ
