Right-hand full inner rocker panel assembly for 1967-1969 Camaro and Firebird coupes. This welded-in replacement section restores the rocker’s inner structure, providing a solid mounting point for the outer rocker, floor pan and door sills while sealing the lower body from road moisture and debris. Manufactured from heavy-gauge steel and formed to factory contours, it restores structural rigidity, prevents further corrosion, and aligns door and sill fitment for a correct factory appearance. Pre-formed for a direct-fit installation, it’s ideal for restoration projects and rust repair work where durability and reliability are required.
Features:
- Fits 1967-1969 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird coupes — right-hand (passenger side) full inner rocker panel assembly.
- Made from heavy-gauge steel and formed to factory contours for accurate fit and strength.
- Pre-primed/corrosion-resistant surface to help prevent flash rust and speed up finishing.
- Replaces rusted or damaged inner rocker to restore structural rigidity and proper door/sill alignment.
- Weld-in design provides a permanent, durable repair vs. patching; ideal for full restorations.
- Pre-shaped to reduce trimming and fitting time — designed for direct-fit installation.
- Helps prevent water intrusion, road debris damage, and future rust development.
Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 4/5
- Estimated time: 3-5 hours (typical, depending on rust extent and skill level)
Instructions:
- Prepare the vehicle: disconnect battery, raise and support the car on jack stands, remove trim, threshold plates, and any components that obstruct access to the rocker area.
- Expose the damaged area by removing the outer rocker skin (if still present) and cutting away rusted inner rocker metal. Use a spot-weld cutter or drill to remove factory spot welds, then cut out the affected section cleanly.
- Clean and prep the adjoining metal: grind back to clean, solid metal, remove rust, and apply rust inhibitor or etching primer to bare surfaces to prevent flash rust.
- Trial-fit the new inner rocker assembly: position the replacement panel into place and verify alignment with the floor pan, door sill, and outer rocker. Trim minor high spots as needed for a flush fit.
- Clamp and tack-weld: secure the panel with clamps or welding magnets, then tack weld at multiple points to hold alignment. Re-check gaps and door operation before proceeding.
- Final welds: stitch or plug weld along the seam at recommended intervals to minimize heat distortion. Allow the panel to cool gradually and avoid warping; use backing clamps or dolly as needed.
- Grind welds and finish seams: smooth welds with a grinder, feather edges, and ensure proper contour for the outer rocker or trim.
- Seal and protect: apply seam sealer to all welded joints and seams, then prime and topcoat the repaired area with appropriate corrosion-resistant primer and paint.
- Reassemble: reinstall outer rocker skin (if applicable), interior trim, threshold plates, and any removed components. Lower the vehicle and perform a final inspection of fit and finish.
- Post-install check: verify door alignment and operation, and touch up any exposed metal or seam areas to ensure long-term protection.
