I will be replacing the rocker and floor panels after dipping. If one
were not planning to replace the rocker panels holes would have to be
made for access and the spaces treated with Z-bart rustproofing or
Waxoil. I plan to have it dipped first so any hidden rust or bondo
will be gone and easily spotted.
I just got my frame back friday and it looks great!
