Everything depends on what's happening upstream, so working front to back is a reasonable strategy.
I had it on the lift recently and noticed a few things that would be (in my mind) problematic.
First off, the bottom of the front bumper is WAY above the front suspension. So the fist part of the belly pan would be pretty steep angle. The the catalytic converters hang down even with the bottom of the transmission pan. Beyond that the frame spreads out to the perimeter of the car.
I’m not saying it can’t be done but it would be tough. Had I thought of this when I had the body off, I could have added tabs, etc in strategic places.
