Well I finally got it all piped together for now. I figured out how to run the twin intercoolers and I have them mounted but I have to hold off. Reason is I will need an L88 or cowl hood and I also need to adjust how far the hood can open as it hits the pipes at full tilt.
So couple of updates....pulled it out the garage after a year of building the car (it's dirty I know). Took it for a road test down the road and all went well! Obviously I need to tune it and a few other little things but success!!
Very nice! How much boost are you running? You could just build a 'bulge' into your hood for the blower rather than buy a new hood. My guess is that any new hood you get will have the same clearance problem in that area and you will need to repaint it regardless.

The hood doesn't bother me I actually like it... here's a close up of how I solved that problem.
Also, where/how did you mount your intercoolers? Any pics?
No boost numbers yet but the pulley I have on it now is for 10psi. I also didn't mount the intercoolers yet, still working out if I want to run my twin Air2Air or go with a water cooled one (leaning towards the water cooled). At this point I just wanted to get the car on the road, I want to stay away from modding for ever and never actually getting it "done".
I'll be sure post it once its in (thats for the winter)
Well after a year I was able to take it down the street for a quick run...car is just silly (in a very good way). Still have to tune it so its only going to get much better. Also gave it a bath... hopefully interior will be done soon, I'll put the my wheels on it and I can start to enjoy before the snow comes

Amazing! Can you provide more details on the header/sidepipes/heat shield set up?
Sure headers are Doug's. They fell into the car but I have nothing stock. If you are using a R&P setup then number 1 tube will need some love. The inserts are the middle sound ones and the heat shields are from cobrastuff. Everything is ceramic coated.
