Personally thats where i would start first. Its an original starting point so that dimension should be spot on from the beginning.
Is it the right way?? well for me i would be happier doing that. Remember what you are putting in place is not original material. The presses have seen better days so a small error could only compound things further along.

Yes, inner sill runs behind it. Makes access to the other bits in the rear corners.
