That little ears are in the end of the panel is for easy TIG welding in the end of the panel.
i often had problems in the end of panels to feed enough wire in the Weld and not making craters, when you know what i mean.

I start the work on the driver side A pilar, i can’t find my metal shrinker in the shop, so i worked with the old bend a fold and punch it softly from the outside to shrink the metal in the radius.

A crazy panel in this area when you want so save an much original as possible…
I worked ~20hours on that…
