Question about Rocker Boxes...
Ok, so I need my rocker boxes replaced. My question is this though.
Has anyone powdercoated their rocker boxes? Does it help at all? Also, I had the ingenious idea to Rhino-line them...is this a good/bad idea? Anyone done it...or know what would happen, if it would help with the rust problem? thanks Lenny

and half Okie...pronounced...Port-a-Oak...we all know that I didn't get the long end of the stick when it came to brains... haha Lenny

I used 3M undecoating on the inside on mine. Its in a spray can and does a great job. I ended up using it for the entire underbody as well.

your mouth shir is purdy boy!
haha yeah, they look very good. I was hoping that they were repro...because if they were, then I would have to say that they are not a waste of money. Looks damn good...maybe I can be so lucky someday P.S. Would love to come to your spring fling, but my blazer doesn't even have a motor in it..haha, unless you want me to pull it from Maryland
