Default 31 Model A SW Town Sedan Project Parts Assembly

I think that now I at the point where I am going to try to dry fit all of the body parts.

Is it correct to start with this splash apron? If that is where to start, are their any drawings or other documents which identify where, front to back, where the splash apron is secured to the frame. Many of the body/frame fasteners go through holes in the splash apron?

Thanks,

Its best to fit the splash aprons / frt fenders with the body off..the splash aprons bolt to the frame rails.

Well, now, taking the whole body off the frame is not an option. I simply do not have the room. I am going to keep one side bolted while I raise the opposite side to install the splash apron above the webbing and under the rubber spacers. I will need to do this three times. Once to install the parts for test fit, second to remove the parts for paint. Three, reinstall all parts for final assembly.

Thanks,
