Re: 58-59 Front Clip Install Sequence??

When I took mine apart, the bolts at the corners near the head lights were so bad I had to torch em out. It is very difficult to take the inner fenders out first. I think the proper way is to install the radiator support first, then the inner fenders, then the front parts not including the grill, then the outer fenders, to keep from scratching stuff use padding, card board, and tape, and of course leave all the bolts loose. And the good thing about having 2 trucks is you got one to show you how it all fits.
Oh as a special note, the bolts that held the grill support panel to the fenders were coated with something like a black butel like window sealant or ? and they were easy to get out no rust. I wish all the bolts had that, rusty bolts are not fun.
