Doors or fenders on first?

Do the doors go on first and then the front fenders or vis versa? I think if I put my fender on first, then I can't get to the door hinge bolt... correct?

I'm thinking: put door on first and get set right with the rocker and cab, and then go from that to install and align/shim my fender. Is that correct?

if you put on the fenders first - it will be very difficult to get to the bolts...

Also you will want to align the door gaps first and then hang the fenders after that.

Start from the rear and work forward on any sheetmetal sawp. That way you can set the back door gaps, then the bottom/top, then you can install the fenders withough adjusting the doors!
