I'll try to offer you some help. What is the real hangup? As RSpears says, the "grille" if using a aftermarket unit may consist of an insert and a surround. If you have an original or In my case a Drakes replica, it's one unit and I start by fastening the top to the radiator. There's 4 bolts with nuts. Then on each top side and lower side, the inner fender and the grille attach with a side mount to the radiator. Then even lower, where the fenders and lower pan come together there are 4 or 6 more fasteners. And lastly the very center at the bottom there is a clip that secures the 2 fenders and the center of the grille.
First and foremeost, know this!!! It will drive you crazy trying to align and hold all the parts and get the bolts in place! Someone with much more experience than I told me the 33/34 Ford was certainly the hardest front end to install and align, He said the 39/40 would be a close second! I never tried to do a 39/40, this one was enough to raise my adult beverage intake noticeably!!!
If the description above isn't enough, holler out and maybe we can get some pics to you.
