Does anyone know if Green Mountain Parts in Orwell Vermont is still making

Hudson rocker panels ? Their phone number has been changed but the new number given is a different company.



Has anyone purchase their products in the past ? What was the quality and the fit like especially on a 54 ?

As I understand it, anyone with basic sheetmetal equipment can replicate the Green Mountain 54 rocker panels. From them you just buy a straight length of what approximates a 54 rocker panel, while the genuine item has a cross section that varies along its length and has a slight bend along its length.



I think that if I had to do it from scratch I would be making the 54 rocker panel from 2 pieces, the horizontal part and the curved part, then weld them together along the corner.
