    I doubt it. But you should be able to manufacture them with an edge of a steel table and a welding tank if you don't have the proper metalshaping equipment. I will check around for pre formed panels tomorrow for you.

    Do these fit well, Russ? I had heard that the Green Mountain rockers did not have the compound curve (at least on the earlier Step-Downs). So, though they curved in cross-section, they did not take the curve of the car itself from front to rear (as seen looking down from the roof). But maybe this is an old wives tale or it's a problem that has now been corrected.

    Jon:

    They had a very slight break about one inch from the top of the rocker. You had to look down from the rear tire forward to see it. I hit it with a few coats of epoxy primer and sanded it out. Also you have to crimpe a recess were the front fender lays on top of the rocker. Some work but work nice for me. The overall curve matched for me
