I bought my parts from VB and discovered that the sill sections were about
3/4 inch too tall, this would mean you would need to cut them and rebend
the flange to get them to align right.  I have had others tell me thier VB
panels were too tall as well.  I would recomend you avoid them unless you
want to add more work to an already huge job.  BTW only work on one side
at a time, this will not only help the car stay straight, but it is a
great reference when you start to get confused.  Good Luck.
