Trust me the time you spend now will be nothing if you get to the body work part and then find the problems.

Thanks for the advice Kevin. I'm off to Harbor Freight today to snag some of those panel clamps, so I can hold everything together as I tack. I'll also make sure to measure diagonally from corner to corner to maintain square.
Again- thanks for your inspiration and wealth of documentation- without it, I'm sure I wouldn't have the intestinal fortitude to attempt this.
