Paint and Assembly Process Advice

Is your motor out as well obviously, will you just protect fenders when installing or remove alltogether?
Engine goes in from the bottom... Generally I have all the wiring & brakes installed with the brakes bled & the bulk of the electrical tested before the engine, K member & lower control arms are installed..... The engine will have everything already attached including the engine wiring which simply plugs into the bulkhead connector....

When I do these generally I have everything finalized before installing the engine because once the engine goes in I can't move the car without help... So when I install the engine I have the car running within a couple hours at most in the past the next day it would be trailered to the muffler shop and alignment shop.... From there forward it was driven, no more trailering...

These days with TTI & Accurate it doesn't even need trailering for exhaust... And I can get the alignment close enough I'll drive it to my buddy's shop for an alignment...

I've done enough it becomes pretty easy...
