      Assembly process. . .what did you do?

      So, I now have all the major components of my build, and I am now wondering what is the best way to assemble them all. (Not this screw here, this screw there etc. The major stuff) Such as:

      Paint first, wire it, then put the components in (interior, engine etc)
      Get mechanical done first, then wiring, interior and last is paint

      and so on...

      I know the pros say to paint first and probably most do, but I know how pissed I would be if I gouched it getting in/out/in/out of the car to do the wiring.

      Here is my plan, please tell me (those that know better) if it is a good or bad one and why.

      All body work, get panels aligned, gaps set and primered.
      Engine/Trans
      Plumb brake lines (e brake already done)
      Interior (less seats)
      Paint the jams and tucked away areas
      Reasemble the vehicle
      Paint shell
      Finish interior
      Install glass
      Install drive shaft

      Go drivin!
