has anyone had new sills put in there car

Yes. I am sure someone has.

no, did it myself.

not a difficult job, easier if the floor is straight, and the inner sills are not buggered.

easier to cut and gring the seam than to drill the spot welds - personal oppinion.

have fun...

just make sure if you get someone else to do that they clean the inner sills well and give it a good dose of acid or similar. Ask them to etch prime/cold galve the inner portion too.
once its all repainted fill the sills up with wax/fish oil and drill some holes in it. Waters gunna get in there not matter what you do so just make sure it can get out.

If you do it yourself its not a really bad job. I was lucky I was able to break all the spots underneith with a chisel. then I did what jbeans did and grind the rest off.

I just measured them and went down to a sheetmetal place. they cost me about $20 each

I found it was best to grind them off, when i used the chisel it actually removed some of the inner sill too.

I made mine myself out of galvanised metal, was pretty easy but you need to remember to put a slight bow in them. I need to update my resto thread soon and it will have some pics etc of when i did it.
