I bought my first "A" in 2024, a '29 35A phaeton at an auction, basically the body was just sitting loose on the frame, with a mountain of parts. The education I have gotten from this forum has been invaluable. My question is, what is the easiest and efficient sequence when installing the sheet metal, IE; radiator apron, running boards, splash shields, hood shelfs, fenders, radiator shell. Some of the pieces are aftermarket, some look original, so there will be a bit of fitting to put the puzzle together, and some cursing I'm sure, ha. Any advise would be most helpful, thanx.
