Default Frame painted - first step for assembly?

Hello everyone,
Time has finally come to get skippy with working on assembling my 66 roadster.
I have the Nolad book, ncrs info but this is used as a guide since this car will be driven, and the assembly book

Looking for a quick suggestion from members as far as where to begin. I have the frame painted / on a jig. Do I start with brake lines and gas lines then move to suspension ?

I will start reading the books - just trying to find a guide on the right or best steps to proceed forward

Thanks
Scott

brake lines and gas lines are a good place to start. Doesn't really matter how you put it back together. I build the front end up first to get some weight up there than move to the rear.

After I have a rolling chassis I install the motor and trans.
