05.01.2008 - Picked up VW restoration estimate from Lee's Auto Body & Paint
05.12.2008 - At Young's request I stopped by the shop today . He pointed out that the rocker panels were rusted through and needed to be replaced. My instructions were to get online and find and purchase rocker panels ASAP.
05.18.2008 - I searched the internet then ordered rocker panels after Kim Young pointed out the need for them. Of course I never heard of the part.
12/2008: Stopped by Lee's Auto Body & Paint for a visual and an update. The rocker panels have been welded on and much of the rust damage has been repaired. I'm told that within a couple of weeks the VW will be sent to the painters. Photos.
