Hi this is Part one of 1000 in our series on repairing the rust on a vintage Gmc van. In this video I will be showing how I fabricate rocker panels using simple techniques and tools that are available to the average hobbyist.

damn, that thing is mint!
I always start with removing the gas tank(and lines, they blow up to. ask me how I know)
Hey, I like the cut of your jib. Subbed.
Hi, you do the imposible with those rocker panels. I keep an eye open for your next video. This is an awesome project.
Hi! Great work!!
I have the following query: why didn't you weld the two parts of the socket without imput?
Only with TIG.
Thank you!!!!!
You could use a pipe anvil. Go to Fitzee's Fabrications has build video with used materials.

You don't find em in this condition very often 🤭
Nice work, I’m rebuilding my fathers 1930 model a tudor. The bottom 6 inches of the car all the way around are gone. When you look at it as a whole project it’s a hell no, take one piece at a time like you said you fix it. Now the van has nice rockers it don’t look so bad the next piece van looks even better. I just subscribe so I can watch the build. 👍
