Rocker Panel Rust Out

Any suggestions on how to replace a rusted out rocker panel at home? I would like to look relatively good.

Well how about telling us on what yr truck?
If you can get a aftermarket replacement panel it would be the easier.
Do have a mig welder? an welding skills?
You first get the new panel in your hands before doing any work so you can see where it is going to fit into.
Then you need special tools to remove old rusted metal.

Sorry, forgot I even made this post. It's on a 1986 F-250. The panel is about a third gone. And it has traveled somewhat into the floor panel, not much I can do to stop it because there isn't metal left to sand down.

These projects can be never ending
you need to get maybe a new floor piece also to weld the rocker to then
