Post subject:  Replacing rockers, lower qtr dog leg, lower fend on '74 260z

Old rocker removed and replacement (Tabco) temporarily fitted. Replacements have extra metal at the top and bottom margins, assume grind this to fit after final fit & weld. Since I'm replacing rocker, lower rear qtr dog leg & lower rear front fender; assume need to fit and mock-up all pieces before final weld. Any suggestions and helpful hints appreciated. What's best welding wire size? Was thinking of .020 inch. Thanks - Harry

Sounds like you're progressing nicely.
.020 wire should be fine. I usually use .025 for sheet metal.
Make sure you stitch weld it so you don't deform the metal from the heat.
