#ProjectSR76 Interior Dye – Part 3

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!!!

#ProjectSR76 Interior Dye – Part 1

With the upholstery on the seats complete and the carpet in place I’m going to start dying the gray interior parts that do not be replaced.
For this video I’ve pulled the metal bracket that holds the manual light pull and the bottom cover for the steering column as well as the side section of the console cover.


 

Lots more coming up!

Thanks for checking in.

A DAY WITH #PROJECTSR76 PART 3 – Speedometer

If you follow #ProjectSR76 you might recall that the speedometer was not functioning.

Additionally, I could not find a good video on replacing or even one that traced it through the car.

I tried to create one in this episode.

Let me know what you think.

 


Thanks for checking.

A DAY WITH #PROJECTSR76 PART 2

Then next thing I need to attend to was the power steering leak.
It is a really troublesome part of many older cars and this 1976 Stingray is not going to prove to be an exception, in fact, it quite adapt to gushing power steering fluid.

Take a look.

 

 

Thanks for checking  Part 3 coming up later today.

#ProjectSR76 Seats Before and After – Black Conversion.

Videos coming up. But here is the before and after for my 76 Stingray’s seat. From this awful gray to a respectable black. I’m converting all the interior to black.

Before And After

 

Gray Carpet gone – Black temporarily in place

Will have to pull out the seat and carpet and put in heat shield, then trim the carpet.  But it is going to look great.

#ProjectSR76 An Alarming Discovery

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.
