Well since this new frame was never mated to the old body, I would be worried about fitment issues. Especially if you powder coat, you can't just touch up the frame if you need to make changes during final assembly. It's A LOT more work, but I would get new body mounts and test fit the frame to the body. Since you're doing rust repair, I would have liked to make the repairs to the body on the new frame with new body mounts to make sure all body panels, door gaps and windshield to roof gap line up ....
