Looks fast standing still
Brought the 77 out of the garage to wash for the first time after 8+ years sitting on jack stands in the garage. It heads off to an interior shop on Wednesday but couldn't be much happier with how it has turned out. The wheels need some polishing, but we'll get there. Its been a looong journey and can't wait to start enjoying this thing. And, yes, it has AC beyond the missing windshield. ;^)

Thanks for the positive comments. To answer some of the questions...
The car is setup with RideTech air suspension to manage ride height. The car is at the lowest setting in the pic while the highest setting will allow me to get a good-sized jack under the nose by about 1/4".
Rear setup is 20x15" wheels w/ 4" BS with 29x18.5" tires and 2-way adjustable shocks. A Fab9 solid axle 4-link, with S-track positrac, roll bar, and a watts link to keep it located in the car.
The front has sc&c upper control arms, global lowers, and 3-way adjustable shocks.
Holley EFI Dominator that controls fuel injection duties for 16 injectors, 8 coils, numerous sensors, engine fans, interfcooler fans, intercooler pump, transbrake, and A/C kick-off.
Engine is a 540 built by Sunset Racecraft w/ 510ci whipple/intercooler. March pulleys, vintage air, home-built 2 3/8 headers exiting through 4" oval exhaust, and a 4l80e trans from Jake's. An aeromotive eliminator pump keeps the 93 octane flowing through -10 teflon lines.
Somehow tucked into the nose is an intercooler tank, intercooler w/ fans, intercooler pump, and a trans cooler.
Body has 74 nose and 80 rear blended in and side markers shaved.

There's no doubt you did you homework on this !
That is just incredible!
I wonder if I put mine in the garage for eight years if it will come out looking like yours ?
Looks like some of the models I used to build when I was young !
Yours looks like it would be more fun to take out and play with !
