Default 77 Sill Question

How do I get under the fiberglass cover on the sill of my 77. I want to brush it and coat ut with rust preventer. Do I have to remove the body to get to it.

There are metal rocker channels under the sill that you can't access without either cutting them out or cutting the fiberglass sills. It is part of the birdcage. Even with the body off the frame you can only access the underside of them.
