Well, Like i said, Iam at the point of my project build. Started to put things back where i think they go. The one question I have is do the doors go on first then the fenders???? I had every thing apart so I'am putting things back the way I thought they were taken off.
Any help or comments, please feel free.

Recommend getting the doors lined up, then the front sheet metal. Weird wonky things can happen, if not done in that order.

Doors before fenders. Aligning the hinges/door requires access to some bolts that the fenders make difficult to get to.
