'65 Barracuda, what order now ?

I think installing the headers in, wiring them back against the inners and dropping the motor in between them would be the easiest but I never did Dougs. Hookers "screwed" into the gaping holes you had to cut in the inner fenders....:-(
Best way would be to install headers onto motor and trans on K member and lower body onto that but some of us dont have that option.

I second Pishta and his advice to build the whole thing on the k frame separate from the car and lower the car onto the whole thing. Then slide the steering column back in.
It sounds harder and more time consuming but way better than drop in "thru the hole method". Use the engine crane to lift the car up off the k-member and block it up off the ground. easier to work on and use jack stands under the body when in the air.... safety first!
Good luck and keep us posted.
