[Healeys] Restoration question

[Herbert Miller]

Thanks for the advice. I can see my way forward. I was not referring to the
rockers, just the inner and outer sills.

Herb,

On the restos I have done I assembled the two parts of the inner together
(using plug welds) first.  Then these are put into position relative to the
outriggers and the rear and front fender wells.  Once in then I added the
outer sills or rockers.  I cannot imagine how the rockers could be properly
positioned without the inners in and the doors temporarily hung.
