Default What do I do next ??????

The 71 vert is in full primer with no windshield,dash componets,or interior and I am contemplating the next move. Should I install the windshield and dash componets and work out the bugs first or should I go to paint next??? then everything else.. What would you do or have done.. :smash:

Personally, I prefer to paint before any assembly (other than test assembly).
