Oh yeah man, you'll want to do that. Springs can be a little tricky to put back on. Get a cheap drum brake tool set, you'll be very thankful. You can them just about anywhere. Might run you $20.
Here is my story behind this car. My grandpa is a very reknown car body man in the drag and indie car groups. David Gardner hot rod paint of Texas I wasn't close to him but always was fascinated with the talent and works of art he would do. My dad wasn't around to teach me about cars. I grew up poor still am just have really good credit to get loans. I have a daughter on the way and wanted to beable to have something we could do together. Granted she may not like cars but it won't he from lack of trying. So far I've learned a lot just from this build. The body work is the only thing I feel over my head lol. But I got my uncle who is also very big in cars was ranked 5 the in nation for fiber glass work. So as long as I Get this mechanically sound body work can come in later. List of parts I still need lol. I was supposed to have a Buddy helping me but he was very disrespectful my wife so we had a bit of a falling out.. Well his teeth did lol so far stangnet has been great. Right now I just switched jobs so waiting on more paper to buy tools and parts. But for every thing I do I'll post it just give y'all an update. Also got a YouTube channel I might throw some vids up
BTW, Late Model Resto has new rocker panel for cheap money. I would think they go all the way to the front like yours will need. I'll take a look. If you haven't bought anything from them yet, they are very fast. Use the discount code this forum has as well.

After looking at the LMR pieces, it'll take care of the outer rot on the rocker. You might need to do a little fabrication of spare metal for under the fender. When you fix it, post pictures. I am a picture whore.
$50, btw.
