Chances are, you’ve had to weld up a pannel or two. It’s a painful process that involves grinding paint off your brand new parts to be welded in. Now, it can now be avoided if you own a 1955-1957 Chevy. Classic Industries has released their Weld-Thru Rocker Panels, that you can use to replace those rusted panels with new corrosion protected ones.

Official Release:

As the corrosive effects of time have taken their toll, reproduction sheet metal components have become an increasingly important element of restoring a 1955-57 Chevrolet. These new rocker panels, part of Classic Industries’ all-new Weld-Thru line, are at the forefront of a new trend in the restoration industry. Rocker panels frequently fall victim to rust, but thanks to these new Weld-Thru replacements, Classic Industries makes it easier than ever to give new life to an older Chevy.

“Body panel installation is a critical part of the restoration process for any Chevy build,” said Ray Yager, Merchandising Director of Classic Industries. “Our new Weld-Thru products were developed to reduce prep-time while providing greater corrosion resistance and a better end result.”

Instead of the traditional black EDP coating which must be removed prior to welding, these new sheet metal products from Classic Industries are finished with a special silver weld-through primer, which creates several advantages. Weld-Thru products require minimal preparation, allow for better corrosion protection between overlapped panels, and promote superior weld characteristics. Heat-zone problems are eliminated, reducing panel distortion and allowing for better penetration into the dense steel, which compensates for impurities in the older sheet metal.
