Rebuild of '75, 23' center console begins

[take a potter]

Looking for input on the pros and cons of what to do next?

The major structural things remaining are; extending the liner back to meet the new shallower transom liner, the actual false transom/liner, the sole, the cap, and building and attaching the bracket.
I think I need to do the liner before the sole, since the sole will be tabbed to the liner. I am planning on raising the sole only to the extent that I will put the new one on top of the flange I will leave when I cut the old one.

So what are the pros and cons of doing the sole before or after the bracket?
