I have a set of Mike's rockers sitting in my basement. I can post a pic at a later time. Also bought some other stuff from him which I was happy with. Nice guy.
The rockers are good heavy steel, but are also not *exact* replacements. These cars have a smooth radius curve on the rocker, and I guess Mike bends these with a bender, and makes a series of steps to produce the correct overall shape, but instead of a nice radius bend, it is like a octagon side. So I guess some body filler would have to be applied to make them look fully original. If there is no rust under the bondo, and it's primed/painted properly, I wouldn't expect any problems down the road.
Still debating on doing my body work here in germany or sending to Poland where labor is cheap.
Regards, Mike

can you post some pitchers

thanks greg

Took a while, but here are some pics of the rockers.
The material weight seems up to packard standards, although not zinc plated. I think they are pretty good reproductions.
