I agree with Carl about loosely bolting inner and outer fenders together. You might also consider bolting radiator support, fender supports, etc together and install the whole front clip as a unit. It would save a lot of crawling around on the ground if you have a non-scratch surface you can put them on (lawn, blanket, etc.) upside down and get all the bolts started. I fought with quite a few bolts to get them aligned, and actually left a couple out. I have taken the front clip off as a unit after tightening all the bolts and it comes off/on nicely if picked from the two brackets for the fender braces to the firewall.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
