We got pretty nice numbers. Please keep in mind, that my engine has cast iron manifolds, vacuum carburator and very MILD camshaft. We used full exhaust system as well.

Max horsepower 462 hp, max torque 705nm. (520ft-lb)

What is the unit of measurement used for torque? The 462 through exhaust and manifolds seems like a very good number to me. You will no doubt be quite pleased with the performance of the car. Its a stunner for sure.  :drool:

Finally got driver side glass adjusted.

After that I sprayed some corrosion treatment inside doors and quarter panels.

Plastic sheets are used to keep water, wind and dust out of door panels.

Door panel was installed by using new clips and screws.

Those door panels look great! Are they aftermarket? If so how do they fit and compare to originals? Man how do you have the patience?

Interior is complete minus steering wheel and rear window crank handles. Yes, it's red.
