My car is just about 95 % put back together.
The only thing I have to do is the left kickpanel and put the front / grills back on.
I was wondering when I reinstall the front, should the bumper be last or does that and the support bar go on before the grill surrounds/ grills ?
What's the easiest way.
I have the bumper, support bar, grill surrounds, parking lamps, grills, eyebrow trim.
Any specific order ?

Thanks in advamce.

It's been a while. If I remember right. I attached parking lamps to the grill mesh. I attached the grills to the grill surrounds. I'm pretty sure I had to attach the eye brow trim and grill surrounds to the header panel together since the eye brow studs go through both of them. I think having the header panel off the car made that a little easier. The lower header panel was still on the car. I put the grill assembly on as 1 piece. I bolted all of that together then the bumper was the last to be put on. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions and I can take a look at my car this evening to make sure I haven't missed anything.

That would be lower grill support not header panel. Sorry if that was confusing.

I installed my header(67 Lemans) in one piece with the header trim, and grills in one piece. I had to make a diagonal cut off the grill plastic so it would slide right up to where needed to be. I did it by myself and then threw my bumper on with my floorjack. Make sure you put some masking tape around the cope on the fenders where the bumper goes in case you get a little rammy and curf your paint job. Also, make sure you post some pics of that baby for us all to see!

O.K. got the grill surrounds in last night and the grills and eyebrow molding. I installed the turn lights
Looking twice. They were looking the wrong way when I was done.
I clipped the turn light to the wiring harness and I was wondering were do I ground them to ?
The inside of the core support with the headlights ? The front of the core support behind the grills ? Does it matter ?
The support bar kinda has be stumped. At the bottom of the nose panel and where the surrounds come together there are two holes for bolts. Does the bar fasten to that ? With the horn brace ?
The restoration guide doesn't show sh*t.
Thanks in advance and it's starting to look real good.........
