rboyer, welcome to the world of Stovebolting. Glad to have you as a member of the garage gang!
Sounds like your plan is already in action. I might add that since this is the "welcome" place you may want to ask your questions in the correct forum. You will get more views and responses that way as not everyone drives through the welcome site here.
Perhaps you question would be best in the Paint/Body forum.

Good luck on your project and we look forward to pictures. Lots of good folks here, both young and old, with lots of knowledge.
Keep us posted.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
