Can't wait to see updated pics. Sounds like a lot of great progress!

Putting those c-clips on the rear u-joint with the driveshaft in the car is an art.  I think I could do it now about three times faster than this attempt.  I had the darndest time with the last c-clip because there just did not seem to be enough clearance in the groove to install the c-clip.  I took the cap back off after trying for a half hour and saw that one little needle bearing had slipped down in the cap, using up all the clearance.   A little work with an awl to reposition the bearings and it went together fine.
