DeTomaso Mailing List: November 99, Message #329

Can anyone tell me about there experiences with the rocker panel situation
on their cars, especially on the passenger side? I notice typically cars
(especially the pre-L's) we're probably subject to rust more than their L
kindred. I take it is because Detomaso later fitted shields that prevented
water from seeping into the rocker panel region. In any event, my question
is (if this applies to your car) how badly damaged were the passenger side
rockers? From what I gather, it shouldn't be as badly affected as the
driver's side (since even in these earlier cars, there was a splash shield
of sorts to take care of this problem. Cal #2428r.
