I have searched the old threads and nobody seems to have found dogleg repair panels for 2nd gen sports. Are there any updates on this?

As of last winter, when I redid my rockers and doglegs, there were none. I put the rockers on(they do make those) and make the doglegs out of several pieces of galvanized metal and used bondo so smooth out the creases and rivits. Came out really great.

Here is a pic of the drivers side before the bondo and paint was applied:

That's good info. I am finding from my research that nothing is available from catalogs for the 2 doors in this area.
 






when i did my truck, i found a clean set of rockers off a 4 door, and cut them off. i then used the lower part of the rear doors as the dog leg, and welded it on to the rocker
 






How about body braces. I have one rusted through in the rear of my 01 Sport. Has anybody found a source for these?
