Finally got the engine running good, power steering issues resolved, and rubber shields installed on the front inner fenders. After I touch up the damage to the black paint around the staples, I want to begin mounting the front sheet metal.

Is it best to mount the inner fenders and core support first, leaving the bolts loose---then mounting the front fenders? I know some guys mount the inners to the fenders first and put them on as an assy. It seems to me it would be easier to avoid chipping the paint on the fenders if they were set on after the inners were mounted.

It's been 30 years since I've last done this. We weren't so fussy in those days. Your ideas/opinions would be appreciated.
