Thanks 330

thanks DJ I seen that one , I even blew it up 400 times to get a better look at it but the angles were all wrong lol,Thanks Ronnie

Ok I believe you fellows are right ,it looks like the rockers do have a lot of curve to them. I mocked the replacements up on the coupe and with some help held my rocker molding up tight against everything and it appears to have about the same gap at the base of the rocker and rocker molding as in the picture that 330 posted so Im going with that , except Im going to make my own from 18 gauge . I measured the replacements and they are 20 gauge plus they are trimmed short in a couple of places. If I didn't have every thing here to make a new set with some extra meat on them ,I would use the C to C's as they could be made to fit with some tweekiing . I want to thank each one of you for your help. I like this place. I will post a picture of one of the rockers when I get it done. Ronnie

Oh, and thanks for trying Suntennis I really do appreciate all the help

330, that last picture helped me determine that they should be much flatter then the replacement panels I purchased and Im not running down the quality of the replacement its just that Im well ....................pickey you might say. Thanks again, Ronnie

believe me plymouthy ,I have looked at every image offered on the net and have yet to find one of the bottom of the outer rocker,Thanks Ronnie

Thanks a bunch 330. The problem Im having is the actual shape of the bottom of the outer rocker as I want to create the correct shape so I bought set of those c to c replacements to use as a guide line (cheap enough) but that was a waste as they appear way too round on the bottom and just cant seem to find another P19 anywhere around here to compare to .I would assume the P18 would be the same or even 51 and 52 models might be the same ,just not having any luck finding one to look at . thanks again Ronnie

Hello I have a question or actually a favor to ask if possible. I have 1950 Plymouth B.C. I bought a few years back and like many here in the east the rocker panel and floors are shot. I have enough of the floor and floor braces to make new patterns but the outer rockers are so far gone I really only have a general idea as to how they are supposed to be shaped. I have the equipment to fabricate them I just don't have any templates to go by. So here is my question or favor if you will, would anyone here happen to have pictures of their P19 rockers top and bottom when they were working or restoring their car .It could be a 2 dr. 4dr. or b.c. I don't care ,any of those would help. Now don't go outside and lay on the ground and take pictures, I would never ask someone to do that, I just thought if someone already had some pics. Thanks, Ronnie
