Mustangs are different,although,I've wondered if they could be extended to fit.I'm sure they could.I am asuming you mean the plastic/fiberglass mouldings.As for where to get them made for our cars,I'm not really sure.They pop up on E-bay from time to time,and at the salvage yards if you look hard,and,you're lucky.

Rocker panel skins do not exist for 83-88 fo bird's or cougars,had this problem with my last bird and not even a listing was found by me or many parts/bodyshops.
Have to be custom fabricated unfortunatley.

I was wondering if he means the actual rockers.If they are rusted,can't you have some new metal welded in?

That's what i was saying,if the rockers are rotted they must be custom made there are no aftermarkets available.

Yeah, bad news :mad:
Yes, my rockers are rotted and looks like big welding and customizing work is waiting me.
Had little hope, when I find from net rocker panels for fox Mustang and visually they was same on picture.

I've heard a rumor that SN95 stang skirts are close. Any hope of modding those or is that a dead end.

Now i don't know if they really have them but i just found this website that lists rocker panels for 77-93 thunderbirds. It may be worth looking into, but i didnt see anything

Around here there's a sheet metal shop that will make you a set of rocker panels on a brake for $60 a pair. You bring your car in, they make a profile of the shape (using a piece of wire), and they bend you up a set.
