Coupe its all 1 piece front to back. I like the rocker panels though

there is a channel that holds that rocker molding on and im assuming your is rusted out by the looks of them pics and there is nkthing left to hokd the channel in place.

gonna need to replace the sheetmetal and get rid of the cancer 1st.

I suggest that if you'd like to discuss replacement of welded-on panels, that you start another thread for that with some high-res, well-lit, close-up, and focused pics of what you have. Maybe you can save it. I'm a bodyman and will gladly have a peek and advise. These cars don't rust out here so I haven't had to fix any rust on my 99 coupes. The moldings you need are indeed one piece and very thin and fragile in places. Shipping cost on them is more than the part value in most situations, hence the lack of a bunch for sale. Most likely they are usually scrapped with the car, and by the time a dismantler removes wheels and sets the car on some old rims at the junkyard... these moldings are toast.

It would be easy to make a replacement for the rusted retaining strips that are riveted to the quarter and fender. If the molding has never been off the car, the retaining strips usually are holding so much dirt that the flimsy molding can't easily be removed without damage.
