Took a few hours tonight to continue cleaning the engine and fitting parts. Still have some cleaning to do, but my goal was get the paint and over spray that the previous owners had left. Also sorting through the engine tins to determine what can be salvaged and what will be replaced. Right now, it looks like I’m still going to have to replace 80% of the tins. Remember, this is what I started with: The engine had been rebuilt, then spray painted, left without a deck lid and got nasty, very quick. I’m anxious to at least get the engine finished and re-assembled in the next month or so, then sit it aside and get back to the body. Every little bit counts!
