This week I took the paint off the RH fender. Looks like it has been repainted at one time. Had really thick primer and some lead on a shallow dent (very surprised it was lead not bondo. Maybe it was done looong ago). Removed the paint and lead so I could do a little "dent flipping" on the dings before doing much fitting.
Saturday spend the day fitting the RH Fender patch for the lower part on the B pillar and rocker. I found The lower door edge is straight (at least on my car) but the rocker was a bit bowed out in the middle, outboard vs inboard. And at the rear part it was inboard about an 1/8" too much. I've seen some other car pictures and that rear corner of the door to rocker gap looked similar. So not sure what all is going on there. But I decided I couldn't leave it be. I had to try and improve on it (deviating from original again?). I had planned to fix just the back edge but one thing leads to another and I had cut a slit through 75% of the rocker and adjusted the fit. Turned out great I think. Very hard to show in pictures. But I can hold a straight edge up to the outside edge and it follows along nicely. Didn't get a picture with the B-pillar patch in but maybe I'll add that later.
