    I did it in this order...... floors, rockers, wheelwells, quarters. I didn't replace my tailpan but I'd do it after the floors. I'd do the trunk floor after the main floor. Repair all mating flanges and inner quarters before installing the floors. If you can, keep the doors on to check the fit of everything.
