#ProjectSR76 Troubleshooting the Power Steering

Like all classic cars, leaks have to be dealt with. I don’t personally subscribe to the notion that all old cars leak. They do until you fix them.

My 76 Stingray gets fewer miles to the quart of power steering fluid than it does miles per gallon of gas. So, I need to shake down the unit to see where it’s coming from.

This video shows my process.

Thanks for watching, and drop me a note, and a like, and subscribe.

#ProjectSR76 Steering Wheel Twist Part 3

I never think I’m an expert at anything, but I have a lot of experience restoring cars on my own (shade tree restorer).

While gaining this experience by working on my own cars, 66 Impala, 70 Duster, 70 Chevelle, 70 Mustang, 73 Mustang (#ProjectSR73), 84 C4 Corvette, 2006 C6, and 76 C3 Corvette (#ProjectSR76) and project managing the restoration of a rare early fuel injected VW Bug and two 55 Buicks, I’ve learned a lot, and I’ve seen a lot.  My 1973 Mustang comes to mind with the non-Mustang brakes.  So, finding what I did when working on #ProjectSR76, I wasn’t surprised.

This discovery created a good conversation in one of the FB Groups I frequent.  Let me know what you think after you watch the video.

Here ya go:

#ProjectSR76 Cargo Storage Restore Part 1

Getting close to finishing the refresh/restore and color conversion of the interior of my 1976 Stingray.

If you remember, it was pretty ugly and broken.

In this segment, I recovered the new doors; the old ones weren’t salvageable.  Take a look.
