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.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

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.

Continuing on with the tear down of the passenger seat for #ProjectSR76. All part of my 1976 Corvette Stingray restoration.

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.

We took a look at the spare tire on #ProjectSR76 and determined it might be on an original wheel but it was a 2003 or 1995 tire. Of course that tire need to go but the damage on rim makes it useless. So I’ve opted to go with out a spare, not unusual, as Corvettes these days don’t come with them, my C6 had no spare.
In this video I’m removing the bottom part of the clam shell.
Thanks for checking…oh…and yes the seat belt episode is coming up.
Tim
Welcome back!
Thanks for checking on #ProjectSR76.
Spurred on by the original moisture barrier discovery, I decided to pull the spare tire. Would it be original tire and rim?
More coming up on seat belts.

Let me know if we can save #SR76’s door panels.
They don’t look as bad off as they did on – at least the passenger side. The drivers side might be a different story.
I have completed the install/reconfiguration of the seat belts that is coming up and I discovered a leak near the cowl.
Thanks for checking in !!
