Glad to see you’re still at it. Those areas are a pain but you handled it masterfully. Looks like you don’t have much more to go till you reach that milestone. Rocker should be no problem for you and your skillset. Keep at it, you’re doing great and if you can only do a little at a time, that’s cool. It’ll come together.

Thanks
Got a little further yesterday, finally a piece that fits like a glove, and no need to self fabricate, although...  
Got a NOS fastback panel that i'm fitting, needs little modification, so after grinding away the welds, the first result looks like this, not nearly finished but looks promising...
On the left the NOS panel, on the right my self fabrication, not bad me thinks
PS: i will sell the reinforcement piece on the left side from the second picture, including the rocker base, how much would you guys think the asking price could be? Thanks

Damn you're kicking butt on this side. Very nice work. It won't be long now, since you've knocked out so much so far. I believe you'll be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel soon.

Has been a long time, but still doing some bits now and then, just a little bit of work that needs to be done and then the cross at the back can be finally removed
Driver side rockers are welded
Support always near
Air inlet, sorry do not have picture yet of the whole
At the moment creating the rain drainage for passenger side

Support is always a good thing to have. Looks more like a quality control supervisor to me. 
Those little detail parts always seem to take the most time to fabricate. It seems they are always a little bit fiddly to get right.
You might not think you're not getting much done, but with winter you seem to be doing pretty good compared to most of us.
Nice work, and keep going at it. The list of things to do keeps getting smaller that way.

Thank you!!
Looking forward to the day that the cross at the back can be finally removed, getting close
Today i tried to refabricate the support
And the end result will look something like this, just needs some tweaks here and there

Hello!
This weekend i restored the reinforcements, they are nearly impossible to reproduce because of the shape, but good enough
At the moment doing some last work before, finally, removing the back cross, going to make a nice picture later

Man that's looking good and solid. And people wondered why I went thru all of that work myself doing a lot of the same stuff, but to a Notch. It's the knowledge that the car will be back on the road, and be solid as a rock. You're already almost there.
