I'm not a body guy but I was thinking I could attempt to straighten my pinch welds up some. Is this a bad idea for me to tackle or is this something that's fairly easy to do? I have a friend who has a lot of tools and he's a lot smarter than me so I was thinking this is something we could do to save some $$$.

I'll try to post pics this week.

Thanks

Post some photos...  Some pinch welds along the rockers are also used as drain holes.   I think,  :clueless:

I would leave them alone.   :alan2cents:

Like Cody said for draining but possibly to allow air to ventilate up in to cavity areas as well.

Engineers thought these things out. = It's the little things that count. 

Sealed off, and condensation could continually build up.

Yep, make sure not to close the drain holes in the rockers.

We just painted the ones under the rockers black.  You don't even see them anymore.   :thinking:
