73 Front end installation

   OK, so the trade school has been a great help so far but its time at the school is nearing its end and I don't know what to do next.Frame is painted
Everything has been removed from the firewall and it has been painted with chassis black. 
The front suspension is almost complete, I'm looking for a specific bolt that attached to the control arm.(I'll post a picture about it) 
The bearings and brake rotors are installed, the calipers i'm not sure but I think I'm missing a bracket to install them (Photos of the complete brake assembly would really help)
I have motor mounts and and the cross member for the tranny now.
What should I do next ? wiring harness? wiper motor? install engine and tranny? inner fenders? Photos are fantastic and help a bunch as well.

	I would install the drivetrain, then the body shell, then wiring harness. Easy to access, and better working conditions. <img src="smileys/smiley20.gif" align="middle" /> Edited by unlovedford - 15-September-2014 at 7:02AM

	Try again on the image, though I like all the smileys lol. The shell is on it already. Check out my project on the project update forum near the end of my topic there are some more current photos.
