While I was removing my front fenders for rework, I decided to repaint my grille too (1953) 3100. Now I'm ready to re assemble my grille, but I failed to take pics from before. So I have a few questions. Is it best to assemble the grille to the base plate to begin with, or is it better to assemble the grille slats to the upright pieces, and add the base later. I'm wishing that I could remember how I did it the first time, or how I disassembled it, but I can't. I did find and print out some info from past posts, which has helped a little. Any additional tips will help. Also, while I still have the fenders off, what is the easiest order of re installation? i.e. fender, grille, fender, or fender, fender, grille, or grille, fender, fender? It's sad to have to ask, because I've done all of this before, but I'm thinking that age has taken a toll.
