I repainted the heater Graphite and it looks very similar to yours now. I don't seem to have taken an "after" pic... maybe later.
I was starting to install the right fender and realized I hadn't aligned the frame with the body. I had looked this up in the Aim a couple months ago and was going to find some .610 rod for that step and forgot until Tuesday afternoon. I ordered a 3 ft piece of .609375 tool steel shaft Tuesday and received it today and cut it in 3 pieces. I had both floor jacks holding the frame and body with minimal weight resistance and used the pins to move the body around until they would both fall right out. I then held them in place with some blocks and gradually tightened the bolts until I had them torqued to 75 lbs/ft. and the pins still fell out. That should be pretty darned close, but as I assemble the sheetmetal, I will be cross measuring to be certain it is all sqaure.
