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.

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.

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:
Thanks for checking. Next up – interior T-Top panels.

I had the chance to tackle a few things the need some attention on my 76 Stingray (#ProjectSR76).
Three things I worked today and only one had a resolution.
Here is the first mini project I tackled.

Finally took sometime to put together a few video for #ProjectSR76.
I’m going to try to do some heavy duty editing and show the final work and my mess up. It’s pretty ugly. But it’ll be fixed.
Enjoy and subscribe via YouTube.

Maybe the most fun you can have when restoring a old car is the tear down process. Discovering the hidden gems like signatures of the installer, factory repair tags and other unique things.
#ProjectSR76 is fun to work on for those reasons.
Check out the discovery and don’t forget subscribe updates here and on YouTube.

Let me start with this:
I HATE ELECTRICAL WORK. I really didn’t pay attention in Shop class (yes I’m that old) nor in 4H when we made lamps. Plus I had a few mishaps during several attempts to repair things. Once I was drilling a hole with an electric drill in a an aluminum door and hit a wire hidden by the previous home in the frame. The drill bit exploded and I fell off the ladder and my drill fried. Add that to a few fried wires, radios and computer boards during failed attempts at soldering and you’ll get a well rounded picture of my electrical wheelhouse. Oh, toss in the fact that I’m colored blind and well…you get it.
I’ve a bit better experience with cars, but not enough to be comfortable.
