Default Interior Reinstall

I have the interior, dash and instruments completely out of my 77. I've been working on getting all the wiring figured out, instruments working and the like. I am about to the point of putting it all back together, but I could use some advice on the order of putting all this stuff back in. For instance, do I start with the dash, insulation and carpets, or does it even really matter. Any advise would be a big help. Thanks in advance!

FWIW: At the factory, the dash was in before the front carpets were installed.

I would do driver's dash first, center cluster and console, passenger's side dash in that order. For me, it has always been easier to work from left to right on dash stuff. Front carpets after the dash is in. Seats last.

Good luck.

Thanks for your replies! It's good to have a basic plan. I guess I'll get to work. Wish me luck.
