I have been promising this for quite some time so today I started working on the page... It will take me quite a bit of time to get this finished but when done the pages will live on my website with enough text and navigation to allow this to be useful.
Just the same, here is what I have to help keep me motivated to finish this project...
Part 1: Preparing a Kit for a build

Includes pulling the barrel pin, the barrel, removing the rivets...
Part 2: Bending a flat using a DPH bending jig

Part 3: Fitting the receiver for the Front and Rear Trunions

Part 4: Trigger Guard and Front Trunion rivets

Part 5: Spotwelding the lower rails

Part 6: Heat Treating the receiver and ejector

Part 7: Pressing in the barrel and Headspacing

Note - I believe this is where I stopped taking photos... After these steps I used the dust cover to help me find the proper location for the rear trunion. I marked the top rail for the location of the rear trunion and then used the "Tape Trick" to help locate the rear trunion holes. The rear rivets were installed and I installed my center support.
When I installed my center support and riveted the receiver to the rear trunion my bolt carrier no longer moved freely (this was expected). So, last night I carefully took a dremel and a variety of files to get my upper rails trimmed for my Bolt and Carrier to move freely. I also needed to remove just a little material from my ejector (perhaps 1/32 to 1/16 of an inch). I need to get pics of the final receiver... I also did not get photos of the silver soldering of the barrel extension and muzzle break. I will add narative to that process as I finish this project.
