the cheapo Harbor Freight respirator is $20 and a thousand times better than dust masks – breathes easy, doesn’t fog the goggles and
has replaceable filters. When I started using this I quit blowing rusty mud buggars after grinding.
Its ok to make rockers stronger. Not frame rails, but rockers are OK. Cars are made with whats called impact zones, but the passenger compartment is not made to absorb energy. Well kind of it is, like windshield posts from a front end wreck, but all in all, that part of the car, the passenger compartment is not made to give way. Its a gray area. If a B pillar is right next to a persons shoulder, is it better to have it give so less energy is passed into the compartment, or better ridged.
the rocker is not just structure for jacking but also structure or the entire vehicle.. the rocker will need to be cut out “at proper cut points” and a new rocker properly weldied back in. in must be strong but not stronger then ment to be from factory
I like these videos because they are good diy without using a lot of expensive equipment. Obviously not meant to restore a classic car but would help freshen up a daily driver that wouldn’t justify a $3000 body job.
im sure if you got the same thickness metal or a little thicker and welded it in properly, aslong as the welds are stong, it should hold fine, but if i were you i’d send a quick email to a bodyshop and just ask there opinion aswell, it would be fine in my opinion though.
its a bodyshop job, they’d have to cut the rusted piece out, weld a new piece in, sand it down to fit and spray it to blend it in, its the only real way to get rid of cancerous rust
i have a question. i have a 20 year old toyota with large holes in the roker panels from rust. since this is a structural part of the car (for jacking) i cannot fill it with auto body putty. what should i do.
