Anyone have an estimate on how much it would cost to get my rocker panels reinforced?I can't even jack up my car they are so rusted & messed up.It would probly be best just to sell this car but I really don't want to.

you can just have the rocker skins replaced , wouldnt coast that much to do so, the paint will coast the most. then for reenforcment there is this foam stuff out there that you can find at high quality race shops that you spray into small holes in the body and frame . it will expand and harden just as hard as steel and is lighter then cabon fiber. that foam **** is not cheap but for what it does and compaired to a roll cage for stiffing its a whole hell of alot cheaper.
ill try and get the name of the spray-n-foam chassis stiffner soon. just need to locate the dude who used to have a race shop near me, he used it in most all his cars and swore by it. ill hit you up later with that stuff.

but the question remains, why are you jacking up the car by the rockers? that is the weakest place to do it. why not use the sub frams , even with my lowered car i am still able to get a jack under the car .

I know that! I usually don't even use the rocker panels.
If it's weak/broke I fix it I don't leave it be.
