Sounds like a good plan. However the gas tank is bolted to the body, but I guess it could be strapped up before the body is dropped.
And I would do the exhaust after the engine is in and maybe after the rear bumper, but before the front end.
And yes, Charles. The front end was dropped onto the body and chassis after the drive train. In the 70's we had color match issues on new Buicks at a dealer I worked for. The front fenders were sometimes darker (better coverage) than the doors. The painter said that Fisher was spraying some of the front ends in a different building than where the bodies were shot. Maybe Keith or John V. can chime in?
