Update
Got the pups aligned couple of days ago and then sanded and shaped the body with 60-120-180-240-320 grits. Now it would seem that the sanding part is mostly over.
The pups have a quite short string spacing - mainly the DM Model One since it's meant for the short scale narrow neck SG-type of bass. Therefore can't be perfectly aligned with the strings but that won't matter. What puzzles me is the DiMarzio's attachment - It's so high even when on top of scratchplate that adjusting it to match string volume is quite challenging. Not so sure it's even meant to be adjusted or what type of screws it usually comes with (bought it used and just received the pup). Could not find any pics online about the matter. The SD would seem to be ok.
Now it's scratchplate time (black plastic) and cutting a control plate out of a sheet of stainless steel (polishing afterwards). Placing these on the body and then on to finding a blend for the color.
Here's some pics so far:
