I did the A-pillars first, working alternately from side to side. I did the pads under the sheet floor/frame last. Other folks may have a different technique.

Ditto basically. I replaced my '41 pads by removing all bolts on one side, jacking that side up with a plank under the rocker box. Note- had to "juggle" rubber pads around to get the right combo of thickness, My kit really didn't match exactly what was on my car.
