Does anyone know if it is possible on a 1946 Chevy 1/2 ton to attach a pre-assembled front end to the truck or should I try to put it on piece by piece( fenders first then the rest)?? It seems almost impossible to align the fenders, 2 pc. grill, inner panels, filler pieces, lower valance and everything else if putting it together one at a time since there are dozens of screws and bolts. thanks mh

I believe you can (attached pre-assemble front clip) tho I've never done it. Others on here may know more.

Not sure with the '46. On my '40, I assembled in pieces. Would be pretty difficult to mount entire assembly without marking paint I would think. With mine, I assembled radiator / cowl first, then fenders, then top hood, side hoods. Grille went in last.
