  7. Blast the car, or at least the area first.
    Drill out the factory spot welds.
    Remove the damaged parts.
    Blast any remaining rust found after dis***embly.
    Epoxy prime the inside of the replacement parts within 1/2" of the weld sites.
    Apply weld thru primer to the mating flanges.
    Replace factory spot welds with MIG plug welds, or resistance spot welds.
    Apply body wax to the inside of the finished rocker.
    With a few variations this is the procedure for most body parts that were resistance spot welded from the factory.
