That's exactly what I figured... I'm gonna keep on hammerin' on!

And as to speaking of NOS OE panels I remember doing rockers on a truck I gave my brother many years ago before I cared about this body style[I got in to them in his memory]They did not fit much better than some I have used lately. But back then the dealer had a pile of them seems like I gave like $25 bucks for them with my discount.
Hang in there and keep at it and it will work out. don't be afraid to cut it you can weld it up and don't be afraid to bend it you can make it right again

Nah... you're not being a jerk at all. I figured that I would just have to deal with installing them this way no matter what brand panels I used. I will probably have to make one more relief cut to get the weatherstrip rail to line up right. Thanks!
