The gray, drab, and ugly steering column has been dealt with. I’m not 100% happy with it.

I’ll have to rethink it. Let me know what you think.

It’s getting close.

My 1976 StingRay’s interior color conversion is nearly complete.

Take a look at the final pieces as I finish those up and lay out what needs to be completed up.

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.

#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!!

Thanks for checking back on #ProjectSR76. Still working on the interior, dying from the ugly stock gray to black.

Several requests from viewers to see the cleaning process and applying the dye. So I’ve shown the process in this video.

Originally this video was going to cover the driver’s side dash panel. However, it was a bit more work than the time I had.
A quick hitter was the inserts for the T-Tops.
Check it out!

Check back. There is still a lot more dying to come!!!

Welcome back.

I’m working on the interior of my 1976 Corvette StingRay –  #ProjectSR76.  This is a color conversion from the ugly original gray to black.

In this episode, I’m working on the passager side dash panel, which contains the vent and the pockets.

Check out the progress.

 


More coming up!!!
