Beautiful car btw.
I think the torque for the little VC nuts is 5-10 foot/pounds. I have heard you don't want them too tight. But someone out there has the specs for sure. Unless you have a tiny torque wrench it's probably not worth it to measure. "Snug" is good enough.
Not as easy as it might seem. Tight spaces down below. Make sure you tighten in a star pattern evenly. Go slow. Make sure your lowers are absolutely flush against the gasket all the time as you tighten, otherwise you will hear an awful sound when you tighten a non flush cover as it scrapes the bolt. (Ask me how I know). Take this opportunity to clean them with some kind of degreaser before reinstall if caked with oil.
