I had the car media blasted and is at paint now, I should have it back in January. I'll post some pics once it gets some color back on it.

The front accessory drive is from Synister Products. I had Mark annodize everything black before he shipped it.
And as long as I'm posting, I might as well give an update.
I completely disassembled the car and had it media blasted. There were no issues so it didn't need any repairs, but I had Autokraft do some metal work on the doors so the gaps will be perfect (1st Gen gaps/fitment suck), smooth the firewall, finish the cage (I'm having Autokraft custom bend the door bars), etc. It's back in primer and it's being blocked right now.
I got the new carbon fiber hood last week, it weighs 19lbs. It will be painted on top and left clear on the bottom. With the hood closed, nobody will know that it's not a stock GM cowl hood... And it weighs 19lbs. On top of being extremely light, it will look great with the carbon fiber valve covers and chin spoiler. Anyways, here are some pics...
Dropping it off, ready to get started:
After media blasting:
Metal work on the door gaps:
Back in primer:

Here's the carbon fiber hood.

Phil, it's from Stenod.
John, the pulley bolts to the ATI hub. Here's a pic that I took before pulling the stock pulley/balancer and pressing on the ATI unit.

Car has paint again.
I'll be taking all suspension, wheels, brakes, rearend, as well as the motor and trans to the shop next Saturday to make a roller out of it so the front sheetmetal can be assembled and get the stripes on the hood, header and cowl panels.
