Dunno how much, my friend does it and would need a pic to see the damage! Hard to say! Probably 25$ an hour + the materials! Would probably do it over a week-end! But without the pics, I didn't even went to talk to him yet to see if is up for it!!

Not sure if this will help but....
Been looking for panels myself lately, nothing around wither OEM or aftermarket but I was talking with Wolfe panels in quebec, they will make up rockers
as well as rear quarters but fr fenders are out of luck, their ballpark pricing seemed reasonable enough but haven't decided which way I am going yet.

Will have to try to send pics next week when I'm home. I have outer rockers a metal shop bent for me. Need to cut them off another car. They should be ok to reuse.

Hey thanks for all your input. I found a replacement car that is in incredible shape compared to what I've seen for a reasonable price.

Will do. Drove the car over 500 k home with no problems. Didn't have time to check it out like I normally would. Tercels are such great cars!

Are rocker panels known by any other name? Is it the same as a center pillar? I am outta my league on this one. I found this site with what I believe are replacement rocker panels, but not entirely sure if I am correct in that thought:

Interesting site GLet.
I wonder if the stock they list is actually available, they list a lot of parts that I have been told repeatedly, are NLS.

But to answer your question, no, rockers are generally referred to as rockers-inner and outer almost universally.

A-pillar refers to the windshield pillar, B - pillar is the centre pillar between the 2 side doors, C - behind rear doors and D - behind the rear windows.
These are all vertical members, rockers are horizontal.
It is hard to picture when the diagrams are broken up into individual components, viewing the complete body side helps make sense of it all.

Rockers are actually listed on page 2 of that diagram (with a lousy picture) and appear as though they are available, both inners and outers.
Curious, would love to hear from someone who has used them and find out if their stuff is genuine or reproduction or just mystery listings.
They even show front fenders as available.
Thanks for the link.
