I usualy don't . I put the car together and block across the gaps. That way the bodylines will match better and you don't round the the pannels at the gap lines.

Same here. I could see if you're after perfection to assemble and block it across gaps. But first you'd have to perfectly align the metal panel edges at all gaps by metal shaping with hammer and dolly. That would take considerable work. Then after it's all done and the weatherstripping and rubber bumpers are back on, it would be difficult to get the panels to align perfectly again IMO.
Heck, I know a painter guy that did his own car at home one panel at a time. Finished paint on the front fender and he hadn't even touched the door yet! I turned out great. it's not the way I would do it but I guess if you bite off a little at a time it won't overwhem ya.
Slow an easy............one section at a time 
It will turn out great. :hurray:
