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.
Drop me a note and let me know what you think.

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.
Thanks for viewing! Drop a comment!!

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.

The pillar post trim is in rough shape on the 76 Sting Ray (#ProjectSR76), and this clean-up and dye treatment makes it look a bit better.
More coming up.

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.

There are still some major areas to tackle for the color conversion, but the T-Top inserts are done.
I had to do some repairs, and they aren’t perfect, but they will suffice for now.
Check out the video!

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.

Reconditioning parts can save money, and it gives you a bit of pride when it comes out looking good.
That is without the pockets
That is the case with #ProjectSR76 take a look.
Kick Panels are up next and these have a unique mod – Factory or Dealer?
Thanks for checking back.
