A quick hitter was the inserts for the T-Tops.

#ProjectSR76 – Carbs are Important – for breathing!

My 1976 Corvette Stingray gets a new 1406.

Working with a new camera that died during recording left me with an older recording device that was a challenge to position and some of the work is just out of frame.

But it all went smooth and well take a look:

A DAY WITH #PROJECTSR76 PART 3 – Speedometer

If you follow #ProjectSR76 you might recall that the speedometer was not functioning.

I tried to create one in this episode.

#ProjectSR76 Got A Spare?

We took a look at the spare tire on #ProjectSR76 and determined it might be on an original wheel but it was a 2003 or 1995 tire.   Of course that tire need to go but the damage on rim makes it useless.  So I’ve opted to go with out a spare, not unusual, as  Corvettes these days don’t come with them,  my C6 had no spare.

In this video I’m removing the bottom part of the clam shell.
