Then I removed the tape after the POR had set for awhile and got the weld through primer out. I masked off the areas to be welded and primed them.
Then became final prep for the rockers. The new rocker corner comes with a big gap in it. Here I cut a sliver of metal and formed to shape and welded it in. Then of course ground it to shape.
I also sanded the areas on the new rockers that were to be welded and primed them as well. Here is what it looks like. Also I wouldn't recommend drilling that many holes on the bottom. It is not needed and makes for much more grinding down the road.
Now comes welding the rockers in. Make sure you just do few tacks to fit them into place. They will not fit perfectly at first and no one wants to drill or grind out welds on new parts. After a few tacks, make sure the door fits properly. It did not fit the first time I tacked it in place.
Once it fit, I welded it all in.
