67 front end install order?

[garner67]

It's been so long since I've assembled the front end body parts, I've forgotten the order of assembly for, stone guard, grill, molding, valance, & bumper.

I'm guessing the order is roughly...

bumper support brackets
stone guard brackets
stone guard
valance
grill
wide molding
narrow molding
bumper

Any gotchas I need to note?

Make sure you install the hardware in the headlight buckets BEFORE you put them on the car.
I would do all the bumper parts last including brackets. Get everything else fitting like you like it. You can weasel the brackets in there afterward. It may be necessary to drop the valance to get the bumper bolted on.

Oh, NOW you tell me to install all the hardware in the headlight buckets BEFORE putting them on the car... ugh, after I had already installed them; took them off; and reinstalled them with new hardware. :doh
