Would this be the same shop that did the install of the 427? Cant go wrong there.
Ever think about a clear scoop on top of the carbs? Would put more focus on the blower and carbs which are a work of Horse Power. Chrome scoop is nice but hides a lot from the eye.
Boy Johnny lawman is going to notice you now.

With this much polished aluminum sticking through the hood, I don't think anyone can accuse me of hiding anything.

Gee, thanks for posting that vid. 
Now I'm fully erect, on a Saturday night, with a buzz, and nobody around to help me out with it.

I'm still watching it.
You need to post a warning. If watching this video has your happy stick proud for more than 4hrs seek medical attention or go out and flog the chit out of your car.
Be prepared that the wife or Johnny Lawman will not understand and tell you that your sick and need to seek help.
Love the sound of the Blower. Cant wait to see the test drive going thru the gears.

We thought we were going to be able to drive it off the lift yesterday, but the linkage was more problematic than we were expecting. My engine guy is wanting to try to use the OEM fox body throttle cable but I don't think that's gonna be possible without some modification to the linkage at the base of the blower. (As I was typing that, I had an idea about how to make it happen that won't look too hacked up.)
The only things left to do (besides the linkage) are mount the catch catch and tie up the electrical.

Sounds awesome! Did you ever decide what you're gonna do for the hood? Also, how's the view from the driver's seat? Are you gonna have to drive Ace Ventura style with your head out the window?

It doesn't look like there will be too much obstruction.

And must I say what she has up top is pure heaven. There is so much to her that.... Well all I can say is you much have one heck of a time driving her hard.
She got looks and I'll bet a hand full to manage when you let her stretch her legs.
Its great to see your still at it. I always love to see your car. You go where no other have been.
