Re: 1936 ford grill
I found this sequence to work well with my phaeton:
Do all the front metal with the horns and radiator removed.
install fenders first
inner fender panels next
horn grille panels next -- these fit between the ears on the headlight supports and the fender (picture)
grille and lower baffle panel last.
After all is tightened up and aligned, you can lower the radiator from the top and twist/angle it a little to get it to fit the supports. If the engine is in, remove the distributor to have some working room for the rad. I tape some cardboard on to protect the fins.
There are four lower grille bolts that are quite difficult with the rad in place.
Don't forget the welting while the bolts are loose. All the bolts are 5/16-24 (fine thread) and are the black oil finish. Roy Nacewicz has sets for all the front metal.
Hope this is useful,
John
