I've paid for two dyno pulls and have not had the time to go. Lost $200 already, but expectations are approx. 450 to 475 at the flywheel. Could be a bit more due to all the internal engine mods done at Greg Brown's during engine and trans rebuild. Sharktuned and runs like a top.

Looks purty.

Considering what has to be done for a good job, 7.4K
Done by someone I know (painter) at a friends shop, ARD Motorsports here in North Atlanta. Everything removed in order to get all edges. Did not do door jams as they were in great shape and saved some $$$. Over 200 man hrs. to do everything properly.
I put all doors together along with all metal trim that I painted. Also rebuilt all window mechanisms and replaced all internal and external belt line seals. Super quiet and tight. No window rattles of any kind and smooth touch operation.

I've seen this car in person multiple times since 2009, including after it spent time in Greg Brown's talented hands, and thought it was stunningly beautiful. I can only imagine how nice it must look now with fresh paint.
