Jac, Looks like you are doing it right. I check in regularly on your progress. I am in the final stages of a frame replacement on my Lightweight. Drop me an E-Mail if you have any questions. jamet07@hotmail.com
^^What did you do about the shims used between the rear tub and the chassis? Mine had shims, but they basically disintegrated when I took the rear tub off. I was going to make some up if needed, but I'm wondering what to expect as far as alignment issues.
The ones that I had were in decent shape so I cleaned them up and painted them w/POR 15. I haven't done a final fit on the tub yet because my doors arent quite finished so I havent used them yet. As far as yours disintegrating I don't think they would be too hard to make. If you need one for a pattern I can send you one. I would definitely use a differant material though.
Tim,
West Marine has those clips (in stainless no less!!)

Well, I just ordered a new front bumper, front bumperettes, and seat back cushions from PA Blanchard. I'll let everyone know when they arrive.
I received a few Mil-Spec goodies from Saturn Surplus.
0-Gauge battery cables, battery terminals & covers, and a nice ground strap (all for really cheap!!):
NATO trailer plug cover (exactly the same as what came on the vehicle):
...started rebuilding the rear driveshaft...

During:
'After' pictures to follow.
My shipment of goodies from PA Blanchard arrived. New Old Stock bumper, bumperettes, and seat back cushions:
Both halves of the rear driveshaft are all rebuilt & ready for reassembly...just waiting for the paint to fully dry. I'm probably spending way too much time on detailing all this stuff, but:
