its not driving yet. im a couple steps behind you at the moment. I was trying to build it myself but my lack of time is killing the build. it will end up in a shop next year

I’ve got a Holley Dominator ECU, which will feed my Holley digital dash and is needed for the DBW throttle body (Holley HP ECUs don’t work with DBW throttle bodies). The Dominator is a little overkill for my naturally aspirated motor, but plenty of room for future mods if I go in that direction.

For the interior, I’m planning to use TMI molded door panels and TMI buckets for front seats. Both of those items are available for purchase now. I’d like to use the TMI one piece molded head liner, but it’s still in development, as is their molded rear seat. They debuted the headliner and rear seats at SEMA last year on a ‘67 Nova built by Church Boys racing, but they’re not available to purchase yet. Would be great to buy all of it together using matching fabrics, colors, etc. I’d like to do something for a console as well, and TMI is also developing that, but it’s not clear when it will be available.

I can definitely relate to that... I’d love to do more of the work on my Nova, but I just don’t have the time. Work is crazy right now and I try to spend as much time with my kids as I can before they’re gone to college. So, I can either do the work myself, knowing that it will be years before it’s finally done, or get help. As much as I enjoy working on it, I want to enjoy driving it, too... as a result, AutoKraft is doing a lot more than I originally anticipated... I’ll have other cars to work on (like my ‘56 Chevy) when the kids are gone and I’m retired!

Quick update... targeting end of January for paint. We need to finish up fitting driving lights in the front bumper, and a small rear spoiler on trunk lid, at which point, all exterior body work should be finished. Also working on test fitting radiator, A/C condenser, catch can, routing of heating and A/C lines, air intake, etc.

Ben from SRD did a really nice job putting together a rendering to help illustrate what we’re striving for. Colors should be pretty accurate - we’re planning on using Shark grey metallic, which was a C7 corvette color on 2015-2016 models. I want a metallic grey that is light enough for the black trim, black wheels and red calipers to really pop against it. I’m attaching a photo of Ben’s rendering and of some shark grey metallic Corvettes so you can get a sense of the color combination. Let me know your thoughts. Happy new year to all and best wishes for healthy and prosperous 2020!

Love the color choice!!! The rendering really helps!

Thank you! Your Falcon looks awesome and will look great in that color. Doug Rippie, who helped me assemble my LS7, was helping a friend build a Falcon similar to yours. That car was freshly painted in a grey metallic, and it really looked sharp!
