You all will remember Bill from #ProjectBeepBeep, his 1968 Road Runner.
Bill is an engineer and has the skills to restore just about any classic car gauge.
Take a look at the work he did on the 1966 Barracuda dash gauge cluster.
If you need help with your muscle car gauges, drop me a note at agcarrestoration@gmail.com and I’ll pass it long to Bill.
Enjoy this short video.
Thanks for watching.

I’m finishing up the installation of #ProjectSR76‘s half shafts. The results? You’ll have to watch.
Thanks for checking. More coming up on #ProjectSR76

SR=Stingray
76 -1976
The replacement of the haft shaft on #ProjectSR76 is underway. In part 1, I provide a few tips on making that easier. Part 2 will show the installation and any issues I encounter getting them right.

Take a look at the Stang at #BarrettJackson…wait for the special appearance of SR73 at the end.
Enjoy!

We arrived in Scottsdale on the first day of the event. There are no auctions, but the cars are arriving and staging up. Lots of fun. Venders have time to chat, and I’ve interacted with some at previous auctions.
This 1969 Roadrunner had a few issues.

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.

It is nearly complete. The color conversion has taken place. Adding the new door panels will complete round one. The goal was to get rid of the awful factory smoke-gray color, which was in horrid condition, and convert it to black.
I did have to replace a few items. The emergency brake housing was trashed. The seatbelts were not fully functional and couldn’t be dyed. The dash was trash and had to be replaced, as well as the carpet and the upholstery for the seats. I saved everything that was serviceable and changed the color.
But that’s not the end. As you know, “Average Guys” restoring cars on their own have small budgets and most of the C3 Corvette owners would pass on a 1976 Stingray, especially one that was in the condition this one was. As $$$ permits, many parts will be replaced, but that might wait for a few other projects to get completed.
Take a look a this before and after.

I had to switch up the plan, and for now, I go with the original steering wheel that came on SR76.
