Confirm bad panel please

The rockers I got from Stoddard did not go in well at all. I have countless hours reshaping them and I think its over. Before I cut them out and start over please confirm for me that the bulge in the center is incorrect. Any early car without deco should be able to be a good model.. mine is a 69..

After cooling down a bit I looked at my doors and it looks like with a little more work they will work.. the bow in the rocker does indeed follow the door.. it needs to be smoothed a little. I used a 4 foot long level to confirm the doors are bowed about the same as the rockers which I assume is correct.. but still would like someone to verify it looks correct..

Thank goodness these are the only panels I had to replace!

Thanks.. gaps are a biotch.. but it pays big cuz you get to see it right away.. body work.. you dont have a clue until you spray primer on it and look at while its wet and glossy..

Anyway... so sounds like you agree then that there is a bow there.. hope some more chime in.. Im breathing a huge sigh of relief at this point.. when you stare at something too long it begins to take on a life and start to move and contort.. I needed to take a break and come back..
