I did the fenders next then worked my way forward. Don't forget to get everything around the radiator done before you mount the grill( like horns and headlight wiring). Also I was mounting a new grill and those little pointy bolts sure help to get everything lined up.

Welcome Gary, I did it like Baba too, you'll need thin lady fingers to get the back top grill bolts in.
