Okay so I have started my coimplete rebuild. I have disassembled the car and already sold the shell. The engine block has been bored out and now I have to get the block back to start the rebuild. But till then I don't know what to do. Is there a next step to a full rebuild? Any suggestions

I think maybe the usual way is to start with a shell.......

I assume you are going to use a NEW Heritage shell then ?? First move will be to check the seam sealing - then paint it!
