Regal rocker panels?

[Imp558]

I know there's something in here somewhere to help but there's just sooo much I can't find it, lol. Does anybody know of a source for rocker panels for a 96 Regal? Or even a ground effects kit that would hide them? Mine are rotted out, naturally and I just can't seem to find a source for them anywhere. Something tells me fiberglass is in my future.

Whats your location? A few junkyard runs might have what you need

I'm in Erie PA., all our cars are rotted out there. It's like a running gag. I think I'll end up doing a nice job with body filler, then gut it out and do fiberglass or weld in patches next year before paint. The problem is that it's corroded so bad there just isn't anywhere to flange for me to install sheet metal. I'll troll the yards and see what I can find. Also I may have to take a business trip to Louisiana later this year, maybe I'll find something down there and ship them to myself for later installation.

check out the rocker panel ground effects I installed on my ex lumina, they came from a GP.

You rock! I'm hunting down a GP armed with my tape measure next time I go to a yard. The Regal's a 4dr too. Looking at the wiki page for the Regal and the GP it looks like there were a couple different body lengths over the years. The wheelbase is the same in my year sedan, but my bumper fascias may fall different. Something is going on there! Thank You!

Couple little dents and scrapes, not too bad but the rockers each have 2 large holes.

crazyk, did those gfx come from a 2 or 4 door GP?

Oh no, I'm with Crazy K, the ground effects will look nice and hide them. I've tried to brake stuff like this before and it never turns out well.

I can check here in Binghamton. It's 4 hours from you. I also have a welder and am looking for something to practice on. If I find good rockers here, I will let you know.

4 door. STE cars had them, but so did later GPs.

I appreciate the offer jimmyfloyd, that could make for a cool saturday project someday. Right now I'm going to hit my favorite yards and try to measure up some ground effects, like to look for STBs too. I'm surprised the rockers aren't available from my local body supply, every one of these cars I see here is rotted there, have to imagine the whole great lakes region has problems there.
