Rocker panel rust.

Im lookin for some ideas on how to fix up rotting out rocker panels that already have jkh rock sliders all welded into place. Id like to replace the whole body piece but the rock sliders are welded in several different places and would be terrible to get off. The rust started after i put the sliders on of course..It rusted so fast i cant believe it.
thanks, mike

Instead of being part of the problem, why not be a part of a successful and positive solution.

new rocker panels are like 75 bucks a piece...i mean that way you know the rust is gone, and you could sandblast it and then por 15 it so they dont rust again

but thats sorta alot of work

If it were me then I would be looking to do something like this -

In fact, I will be doing it sooner rather than later and my rockers are not even rusty yet.
