Cool Rocker Panels

The other day my car was hit and the side of my car slammed into the curb. My passenger side rocker panel was smashed in several inches. My question is, how can you replace the panel, if at all? Thanks for the help

Re: Rocker Panels

it has to be cut out, I don't think they "unbolt."

Re: Rocker Panels

To do it right the car will have to be put on a frame machine to hold it straight while its changed. The rocker panel along with other panels behind it is a major structural piece. How bad is it? Got pics?
