Now how about a simple 10-points of order of assembly from everyone that has assembled a car after paint. You know like:
1. Install engine and transmission.
2. Finish engine compartment.
3. Install wiring then install dash.
4. Install vinyl roof....oops make this #1. or number 12. 
5. Install carpet.
6. Install instruments.
7. Oops remove carpet so you can find seat and console mounts and oops wait because you forgot to install the head liner and locate the shoulder belt mounts..
You know what I mean  There were lots of things that I had to undo more than redo because I got ahead of myself from inexperience so post your own list of just the basic steps. I'm sure if I did my list there would be lots of tips as to what I should have done before I did them......like sealing in the windshield BEFORE I put the dash in....which as most of you know "you can't put the dash in AFTER putting in the windshield   
You missed it just above your post...

I created a photobook documenting the restoration of my 70RR. It is still online. Go here and enter 118305 in the search box. Click on the thumbnail and the photobook should come up with a "Flip Preview" option. Just click on each page and it will flip through the book. And, I used Rick's list as a general guide.

I've seen where JJ1 gets confused with a mid-green color depending on the light it was photographed in,(as stated above and forgot) might be what you were thinking of, just throwing that out there because I do that all of the time

I have lots of pictures also. Drip rail moulding doesn't get in the way of anything. I did my head liner, you need to go out a buy about 12 little spring clamps for that job. Is your car factory air with that big round hole in the firewall?

there were 2 different dated charts for '68 and one listed FF1 as "Lt Forrest Green Met." and it was the lightest of the grns.. The chart I'm referring to showed 3 shades of green for 1968.
