Nice work, but I'll risk asking this for fear on my life....
In the fourth pic, on the frame just behind the trans. cross-member it looks like a rear frame half section has been welded to the front half. Rough surface on the front, smooth on the back, with a visible vertical seam. If it has been spliced, was it done correctly?

from one tech to another, lookin good 
the only problem is you have this beautiful frame/motor suspension, then you have to put the old body back on and cover it all up then you have to wait until the body is all redone for it to look finished again. it is just a step in the process

The original colour is Metallic Yellow. Even with all the harassment I've beem taking from my buddies, I'm going to stay with the original colour scheme.
