Make sure you have an extra pair of hands when lowering the body back onto the pan, last thing you want to do is scratch your new paintwork with misalignment.
It helps if you have 3 people, one on each end of the body and someone to guide you on lowering, then to secure a few bolts in finger tight to align he body up. |

Or do it the other way around - put a jack under the pan and slowly jack up the pan... and let the body be still... Then it's possible to do by one person... It's also possible to put bolts without head to help to guide you right...
Looks nice, by the way!
