Well, I've sort of finished the front rocker/wheel well. I worked about 3 days and it ended up being garbage. I'm getting really frustrated. End result looks ok, better than before. Poor paint job on the fender (and bloody trim wouldn't clip back on properly), and lower trip doesn't quite line up. The rocker is mostly epoxy putty to seal it, it looks really lumpy. I got really flustered when I kept finding more rust under the pedals in the floor, those are still open. I just got really lazy and that's what resulted in the putty fix. I've found what looks like a good recipient for my drivetrain:
