I'm impressed you got the body off the frame and back on. The way it wraps around the frame outriggers - that looks like a chore and nail-biter. Good idea on painting the underside of the body. I have an old Corvette and there is some history of engine and chassis fluids migrating through the underside of the fiberglass on some cars and lifting the paint. Looks like you have killed that potential problem. I haven't replace the rocker panel screws with rivets yet as I'm going to have to do some body work down there due to the mold line.

I'm currently planning to paint it myself. If I come across a good painter that I have reason to trust I may decide to not convert my garage to a spray booth. We'll see. I do plan to take it at least through high build primer. Good luck with your build - sounds like it will be nice.
