Mike,
Those little stick outs are little stake pockets. The top one originally had a hole on the bent,angled top side for a hole but now it's closed on mine. The one underneath the rear fender is only a side panel stiffener. It's a stake pocket that I cut on angle to reproduce the original one.

The bottoms lip kick out on my panels are 3/4", but there's room for up to 1".
My panel sides, I tried to cut to 18 3/4" and it came out at 18 7/8" which seems perfect. I'm not sure how these pictures turned out but here is the diagram I drew before I got it bent.

The top side (the bent part) I cut at 4 3/"4 but I ended up trimming off 11/16" in order to have a nice gap to weld on.
