#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!!

#ProjectSR76 – Drivers Side Dash Bezel Part 2

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.

 


More coming up!!!

#ProjectSR76 – Drivers Side Dash Bezel Part I

Removal of #ProjectSR76 driver-side bezel was a tough one.

Lots to disconnect.  More light blubs than on the Vegas Strip.  Oh yeah, and dropping the steering column.

Let me know what you think.

 

 

 

Part II is coming up.

#ProjectSR76 Interior 6B RIGHT SIDE KICK PLATE

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:
