Would someone have some detailed pictures of the radiator sheet metal that attaches to the bottom front and the sides of the radiator to the body ? Thanks.

Here's one that should give you an idea of how it goes together. There are some more here.

While we are on this topic, does the body rest on the radiator side aluminum and therefore does the bulb seal get installed there?

Yes, you have to put bulb seal on the two vertical aluminum pieces.

Hate to ask a silly question, but is "bulb seal" the sealer strip that goes on the alum panels next the body?

Larry, yes, it's the stuff that clips on the aluminum panels with the round rubber bulb attached.

Is this aluminum installed before or after the body?

The manual says after......I'm not that far along so can't tell you more. It appears there are some fitting issues that won't resolve until the body is on the frame
