I thought at least one of the suppliers (Les Canaday at Classic Datsun or Ross
Mullen at Sports Imports?) offers replacement, reproduction sheet metal for the
sills or rockers. For those without a press brake or the skills to use same
(such as me). Either of these guys, or Mike Kerr at Roadster Restoration, may
have a line on used sheet metal.

Ewwwwwwrrrrr!
I thought MY Roadster was the worst example of THAT!
On a positive note, I have been able to repair the base of my "A" pillars,
which were worse than yours, so I'm sure you can too.
I also intend to replace the ENTIRE sill or rocker as you call it on BOTH
sides.
The shape is relatively simple to re-produce, I hope to be able to do it
myself with my modest sheet metal brake.
I wouldn't have thought that either of these panels were different to HI/LO
windshield cars??
If it will help, I can send you a template of the sill panel profile so you
can have a replacement folded up.

"Hey all:
I thought I had arranged for the parts I needed, but I've just found out
that the ones I was about to purchase are actually NOT for a
low-windshield...
Does anyone have a low-windshield body that they are cutting up (or wouldn't
MIND cutting up)? What I'm looking for is the Door Hinge Posts (or 'jamb')
and / or the rocker panel. Or even a SECTION of a rocker panel, so that I
can use it to fab my own."
