The paint is over 50% done the top is blue and sliver is next all the door jams and trunk inisde and out and hood are painted so it should turn out fine except somebody did hit a FREAKING Mailbox on the passanger side fender and it could only be fixed some much.

Thanks V8 demon for reminding me i need to sign into SBFtech and go look around.

Also off topic but on the topic of respect i just got the modified mustangs magazine with someones nice sliver 1988 Turbocoupe looks great i will read it later but i had to buy it just for that.

The harm is in running both....one or the other is the way to go.  As stated, it can cause lean conditions at idle/part throttle.
In most N/A applications; it's usually best to leave the PCV in place.  In forced induction applications this is not always the best choice.
An option could be 2 open breathers OR you could even go so far as to use an evac kit such as this:  http://www.jegs.com/i/Moroso/710/25900/10002/-1#  Emission compatibility becomes an issue at that point, however.  I'm not sure I would run a pan-evac on a car with catalytic converters in place.  That's a situation in which blow-by becomes a fire hazard.

You can even use a smog pump or air pump in more radical setups.  The trick is finding a good pump that will live at high RPM's or play with pulley sizes to keep it from spinning too fast.

Here's an excellent write-up on the different types of systems:

Its the 2 tone paint job that fits our cars maybe not the colors for that to each their own but with the side trim removed and the colors and wheels the XR7 looks better with its clean lines than i could of ever thought.

Note: i know in my mind 90%+ how the car will look but in whatever part of the project there at when i go take pics it will at least give you some idea of how it will look in the end "since its still being wetsanded".

pics tomorrow maybe middle of the day or sooner

Also swapping out the TC wheel out of the wrecked car on my T-bird and getting 2 Chrome Cobra Rs tomorrow for it so a few T-Bird pics tomorrow as well time to make both cars a little nicer on my day off.

P.S. Birdman maybe so but this time its got a few Thousand dollars worth of extras and more power more boost more looks and should handle and shift better.

Like I've said before, I may not share your taste in color schemes, but it seems like performance-wise you are headed in the correct direction.  After the Cougar is done I want to see some 1/4 times!

Wow.  I actually like this.  As long as it keeps looking like this, I may change my opinion of your color choices!

NO RED.  This looks great!
