sorry, we dont work fast around here
uhm, to my knowledge they dont reprodouce body parts for j-bodys...so your gonna have to find a junk yard car or just buy a whole nother one for parts...parts are not easy to come by, ask around the forum here...some guys have cars laying around with useful stuff on them Good Luck *Nic

The best place to find doors and other body parts is www.car-part.com Do a search of local salvage yards and you can find most anything there.

But you can have a shop 'make' doors for you out of solid coupe doors. Use the old ones for a pattern and where to cut. If you absoloutly cannot find clean used 'vert doors...this is another option.

As far as rockers...do you mean actual rocker panels? Those would have to be cut from another convertible, as the extra supports are acually welded to the factory rockers.

If you're talking about rocker moldings, that's another junkyard find

Good luck.

Sorry, I'm retarded.

BTW- You might want to try www.jcwhitney.com or call them and ask about rocker panel patches. They sell them for older cars, and these are so common they would almost have to carry them.
