Anyone have a close up picture of this area with a convertible reinforcement rail installed?

I know the plate gets trimmed down and a bead welded across. Is there also a bead at the same spot for the rail?

Did the parts come from WW?

I did mine a year ago, but I don't think I had to trim anything off the sides.

and they were somewhat angled up at that rear spot,

No I have some that are copies of an NOS one. I had the WW ones but sold them for these. I think that the rail goes past the plate about 1/2 inch and then has a bead welded. I just want to make sure I am not supposed to cut it off.
