Where do I begin.....Engine rebuild is complete and it now time to replace the sheet metal on my 1951 3100 truck...seems the radiator frame install sets the fender and hood alignment. How do I install it to get the best chance of fender and hood alignment.

When I did mine I made best guess on the radiator frame, mounted loosely. Then the rest of the front clip with none of the bolts tight. Then the hood. Finally adjusting the radiator mount and fenders to fit to the hood. Don't get in a hurry and back away from it for a while if you get frustrated.
