PB-30 w/Tonerider upgrade - First PBG Kit Build!

[Route 58]

Ok, so trying to get started on this and have already hit a few areas of doubt.
The Instruction Manual (which I am very grateful for, and by no means criticising) advises:

1. Test fit the parts
2. Fitting the Neck
3. Checking the Scale Length
4. Fitting the Bridge/Tailpiece
5. Test fitting the Neck
6. Checking neck alignment
7. Preparing the neck
8. Painting or Staining

The PB30 bridge is probably closest to a Telecaster style bridge. Step 4 (Fitting the Bridge/Tailpiece) advises marking centrelines and holes, but doesn't actually talk about drilling and installing the bridge. Is this the point where we should do so (at least temporarily)? If not, how do we test the alignment & break angle?
Step 7 (Preparing the neck) is quite a big section - it looks a bit like it should be broken down into a few different steps, but in terms of preparing for finishes it talks about the fretboard but not anything in terms of the back of the neck nor the headstock.
Step 8 (Painting or Staining) This talks a lot about the body but barely touches on the neck (except for being careful in relation to glued necks), and after that comes the next section of Wiring and Final Assembly.
Thanks in advance for any helpful advice!

Hello!
A few thoughts,
You should be able to fit the bridge and neck as a test. You will need to make sure that the bridge is in alignment with the neck, to make sure that the strings run over the neck in the correct way. You will also need to make sure that the bridge is the correct distance from the 12th fret too.
If you have a screw on neck, attach it and then you can locate the bridge using a cotton thread running down the centre dots of the neck to mark the centre line of the bridge.
The wood on the neck can be treated as the wood on the body in most ways, it is much harder but will accept stains or paints in the same way. Only the fretboard needs different attention which is why it is addressed separately.
I'm sure others will be able to expand on this further!
