Did get the driver side rocker half welded on.
I would do a few things differently.
1). Put the dog leg on last.
2). I would pop rivit the rocker down first then weld it in. Once welded on drill and fill the pop rivets.
Cutting the inner rocker about 1/4 to a 1/2 down. Does seem to work well. I welded the inside and seam sealed both sides of that inner rocker.
The 1×2 rectangler tube. Seems to do a decent job tying the 3 body mounts together. As all my internal structural steel was pretty much gone.
I used the rocker pieces I cut off to weld and strengthen that rectangular tube.
That was my first set of rockers. So I didn't do horrible. Could have went better probably. I know would have been a lot better if the inner rocker is savable.
I need to clean up the welds and smooth with a little putty yet. Then I will paint the rockers red again
Not sure how gluing these on would work. If I went that route the metal has to all be bare. I would fit it a few times. Then drill pop rivit holes. Then use them to line it up.
Use the pop rivits as the vicing holders. Then probably just light puddy them over.
