My 3100 came to me as a basket case: can anyone tell me the most efficient assembly order for the front end sheet metal? Start with the radiator frame, I assume, then maybe inner fenders, outer fenders and grille?

The fenders attach to the core support, then the whole works can be bolted on. I replaced some nuts and bolts with studs next to the firewall to make it a one man operation. Don't tighten anything up 'til all is assembled.
