Question Putting the body back on? Need opinions and suggestions.

I'm going to start putting the body back on this weekend. Heres the main hurtle. My orginal tub was of course mostly holes, hehe. Too far gone to repair. The front part (windshield frame and floor boards were alright). I couldn't find a complete tub at the time. I ended up with a back half of a tub in good condition (the bed). Heres my plan to get it back together and straight. Set the front and rear half on the frame with body mounts left loose. Put on the top, doors, core support, fenders, and hood. Bolt all the body parts down tight making sure all the lines are straight and even. Leave the body mounts loose but making sure its all sitting down flat. Climb in through the rear and weld the two halves together. Next weld in some new floor board pieces and the rockers. Then weld in the new rocker boxes I got from Tim Christian (thanks for the awesome deal Tim). After its all done I get to take it back apart for paint. I need your alls suggestions and opinions, the more the merrier. I want this thing to turn out nice so what do yall think? Here are some pics to give you an idea of what I've got.
