Hi, my car is almost finished & I need to install the rocker panels. Any idea or suggestions? Should I tackle it myself or pay someone? I know you need a rivet gun n good measurement.

Thanks,

Sharpstang, I try to say hi to all new members but noticed you didn't do an into post. Please make a post on the introduction section so we can say properly say Welcome! and make the usual remarks about wanting to see pics of your car. :D

Best bet if it's a fresh paint job & still at the shop..Let them do it...One slip & there goes your fresh paint..One key thing..MAKE SURE TO HAVE THEM DAB A ZINC RICH PRIMER (weld through primer sprayed in a paint cap ) in every hole they drill...Then when the rivets are being installed each rivet should be dipped in the same primer right before being used..
