510 rocker panels
510 rocker panels
Hi everyone, I'm a newbee here but I have been in love with the 510 from the time i was a kid. My brothers all had some growing up and I was sure to get one too. I picked one up a few years ago and had it sitting for a while. Now i'm ready to get busy. It has a bit of rust so it's going to be a task. I was wondering If anyone knew if there is someone that makes replacement rocker panel for our cars or if anyone has some sitting that thay cut off a parts car. Right now that's kind off holding me back. I was replacing the floors and realized that the entire front section of the rocker panels are shot.

RE: 510 rocker panels
they don't have rockers? I was pretty sure I saw a piece of a rocker on their list of body parts...

I received this e-mail from Allen Hall at nissanbodypanels.com. He's willing to make those hard to find parts.
