Just finishing the floor boards today. Next I'll get the header and ledger boards up for the trusses, then I'll be ready to start building the roof.

The firewall doesn't look bad but the K member and around the front of the engine is coated in oil and PS fluid. Also the top of the transmission from the crankcase vent on the back of the 283. Trust me, it's worse than it looks.

Once I get my porch floor done, and I'm almost done now, I'm going to do said cleaning and get that heater core replaced. Maybe tomorrow I'll drop the new engine in.
