What type and source for nails? I'm getting ready to install the doors on my 901 and to begin the process of bolting the body to the frame and aligning the doors.

I was wondering what type and size of nails I should use for reattaching the metal around the doors and installing the rain gutter over the doors. I was thinking they should be a stainless steel ring shank maybe 15 gauge.

Also, if anyone knows of a link to a site where someone has already done this it would be of great help.

No personal experience, but have you looked at the 5 or so styles of body nails available from Restoration Supply?

Restoration Specialties also shows some body nails, page #197 of their current catalog.
