Well my plan is to remove all the rust of the rocker panels untill im at all solid metal, then paint the bare metal left over. And instead of filling all of the massive holes which would be a huge pain im just going to cover them up. Plus i think the sideplates would look really cool in black

If you do this put some seam sealer on the back of the sideplates before you put them on. Otherwise water will get into the holes left by the rust and rot the rest out from the inside and you wont know it until the sideplates fall off because there is nothing left to hold them.
