The transformation continues on my 1976 Corvette StingRay (#ProjectSR76), and the interior color change from the ugly factory gray to place is nearly done. Take a look at the before and after.



Still a bit more to accomplish.

Drop me a note and let me know what you think.

#ProjectSR76 Center Console Dye Job

Almost done with the entire dash (nearly done with the entire interior – at least the dying part). Take a look at how the center console turns out.



The dash pad is up next – it is a new install, so no dying is required, and I’ll have the dash back together.

Thanks for viewing! Drop a comment!!

Finishing up the speedometer and tach bezel on my 76 Sting Ray.

I’m pleased with the outcome. They aren’t new, but they look much better and cleaner than the old gray color.

#ProjectSR76 is looking good on the inside.

There are still some major areas to tackle for the color conversion, but the T-Top inserts are done.

I had to do some repairs, and they aren’t perfect, but they will suffice for now.

Check out the video!

#ProjectSR76 Interior 6B RIGHT SIDE KICK PLATE

By | | , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

As part of the interior color transformation, every part needs to be replaced or have the color changed, kick panels included.

I picked up a used set in black some time ago so I didn’t have to treat these.

I’m assuming that what is on #ProjectSR76 is original.  The color matches, and there’s no indication it was replaced.

In this video and the pictures below, you’ll see that the right side was manually altered.   The right kick panel in the used set is was not modified.

However, a quick look at the aftermarket offering and the panels are modified.

Aftermarket

 

 

As the video will show, the modification was necessary to accommodate a vacuum actuator on the right side next to the air vent.

Here is the video:

#ProjectSR76 Interior Dye – Part 6A Preparing to install Passenger Side

I needed to install some of the completed dye pieces for the interior of #ProjectSR76.  If you recall, I’m undertaking a complete color transformation on the interior of my 1976 StingRay.    Keeping complete parts sitting around in my garage is not a great idea, so getting them back in the car is necessary.

For this episode, I’m preparing the large gaping hole on the passenger side.  But first, I need to put the AC Duct and vent back together as well as the panel itself.

Here is the prep:
