The bodies were mostly complete I believe once decked the seats were usually installed on the final line. The battery, radiator and shroud were installed then the front clip, both fenders and grille were decked. The hood was next, then the fluids then it was started and driven off the line. The aux fuel tank was installed out in the garage because the decking clam shell need that room to clam around the body. I would need to talk a small paint inspector to find out how the grille letters were painted them.
