I am in the same place you are right now, car is supposed to be out of paint shop soon. I will take care of assembly of the exterior first because I am hanging the fenders ,hood, trunk lid etc. and I don't want anything "laying" around too long. I will then put all the glass in and then the interior.

Headliner and glass first. Then the exterior, then weather stripping, trim and interior.

Ron exactly the way I do it. dont forget the headliner goes in alot easier with the glass out. didnt metion if you had buckets or bench seat, but if its a bench make sure you lay some blankets across the door sill area before wrestling the bench seat into the car or you run a big risk of scratching the nice new paint in the door jam. dont ask me now I know. :(
