Default Assembly Order

The painted body and bonnet for my 67 E-Type will be finished in the next month (or 2, or 3). I'm trying to determine the next steps. My initial thoughts were to install the drive train and suspension first to make it a roller. Then I was going to start installing the ancillary stuff like wiring hydraulic lines etc.

Does that make sense to everyone or are there things that should go in before the drive train and suspension?

Thanks for the input.

Herb

Hi Herb,
I would install the suspension then detail the engine compartment, brake lines, fuel lines, wiring etc. The engine would be one of the last things I would put in.
