The body shop working on my car asked if I wanted to retain the rocker panels (run on the outside of the car, under the doors) or they could fill the holes and leave the rocker panel mouldings off. For a resto-mod car, I'm looking for some opinions on what looks better. Should I leave the mouldings off or have them installed?

it depends on the overall theme or look you are going for with your restomod. If the outside is to stay mostly stock appearing and your keeping lots of chrome,then I think it would look good. If your going for a more aggressive look,or racier or more modern where much of the chrome is painted or left off,then I feel it would look out of place. My 67 will have the exhaust coming out before the tire,and I'm going with a more aggressive look,and I want it to look lowered without going too low,so I'm going with fiberglass side skirts. Just my two Canadian cents.
