Harvey, I would assemble it first, then tape the surrounding area (cowl, radiator support, senders, etc). If the hood was not fitted prior to painting I would measure to be sure it will fit properly and then with the help  of another person set it into place. I attached mine in the back first and then assembled the front attaching bracket and hood ornament.  Good Luck.
