No not yet. Life got me sidetracked (no pun intended) ... and a stinking point set screw. Got a new dwell meter and was so excited that I was going to get everything tuned right. Then DROPPED the set screw down into the engine tins. Had to take tins apart to get to it. Well, foot. I got the tins off, might as well paint them. Good news, they are painted, bad news that was 2 years ago. lol. Maybe one day ...

Is it possible to replace just the inner rocker and leave the track slider in place? My inner rocker is thin but the middle rocker with the sliding door track seems solid. I won't really know until I open it up I guess. My b-pillar, splash area, floor support and inner rocker are toast.
