I also know what dryrot is. It is like rust but for rubber and plastic. Do you guys have that up there?

Mine's getting POR-15'd this summer. Should be fun, in the "thankfully I'm doing this now so it lasts a few more years" kind of fun.

Already spoke with the place I'm buying the rocker panels from. I'm getting slip-on style, as they can likely be riveted/JB Welded on instead of welded. I don't have access to a welder, and don't know how to use one anyhow.

Ed, any chance you could meet me in, say, Wisconsin? I have a place to stay out there, LOL!

Being back in Buffalo, I'm seeing LeSabres with rockers in far worse shape than mine. I still want to have new metal on there so I'm not driving an obvious rust-bucket.

Transmission issues may overtake the rust-fixing. The blasted early-run 4T65 is acting up again. Ugh, another $80 in fluid and filter I don't have...
