did you first put in the doors and then align the fenders and then the hood? it just seems like a tedious job to get it all lined up, or isn't it as hard as I imagine?

We pre assembled all the sheet metal then took it all apart painted the panels seperately then reassebled it again just have to be very carefull when you reassemble not to scratch things ... But its not extremely hard just time cosuming ...
