We want to do it right. The reason why we all are on here is because we care about and love our trucks.

There is nothing wrong with that. I can respect that. But, most people don't have money to throw away on something that is on it way out anyway.... You have to think rationally. This isn't for everyone. I understand. But, it will get you a license plate renewal for state that have rust inspection.... Rich people dont have rust on their vehicles. People with less money do. That is why this is cheap and easy. Also, they dont have extra cash to throw at a bad investment. Just drive the thing to work and hope it dont break down.

99% of us here love our trucks and want to fix it correctly. Also want them to last longer. So again how is your aluminum cover help? It doesnt make the rocker stronger. It doesn't fix the problem. All it really is doing is adding another place for the rust to move into.

A cover isnt the answer. Obviously you havent figured that out. I looked at your sight. The worst part is you think you covers are so great when in reality they fit like garbage. The sheet metal tapping screws that are exposed make it look even worse.

Oh BTW, I can american made complete rocker replacements from a company in Pennsylvania for less than $500 for both sides. Which happens to direct oe replacement..

[MENTION=84162]ObsoleteE[/MENTION] Call some of your local rental companies. I know down here I can rent a Mig welder for about $45 a day. Also it may not be ideal but you can buy a 90amp Flux Core mig welder for about $100 bucks at harbor freight.

They do fit great. Like a glove. The proof is in the pudding. How did you find my site?? Do you guys want to see some more pictures?? Im telling ya, this is the best economical way to make your SUV look new again.... You can glue it on if you are pretentious enough to unlike screw heads. Are we talking about a old mustang(thats worth fixing correctly) or a 12 year old rotting SUV?

Really you should change the name to Rust bandaid panels. I know what you were trying to accomplish. You tried to immitate anoth respected company who actually make quality repairs that replace the rotted metal.

What might not be considered worth it to you, might be worth it to someone else. For Example I have a 73 F100 shortbed at my fathers house that is being restored. Is it worth it? No really its not. Is it to worth it to me? Yes. It was the last vehicle my grandfather helped me build before he past.

So take your bandaids some place else. I know many sight you could join but wouldnt last a hour on.
