Project 1970 chevy Blazer need help with bedsides

I began my restoration about 5 months ago on a 1970 K5 CST blazer. I have hit a wall, i ordered a swb replacement bedside from LMC which will be here in a couple of days. I am wondering if anyone had any words of wisdom or method to rolling the front edge around the pillar. Here are some pics of my build so far.

Leave about a 1/4" of the original bedside, and buttweld your new bedsides to that.

Difficult to do but you need to try and have top on, that will give you a good idea how much to leave. Dont try to go to fast, being a rookie it took me quite a while to get it right.
