If you remember #ProjectBeepBeep and its owner Bill, you’ll want to take a look at the newest addition to Bill’s MOPAR farm.

#Project67DC is a beautiful 1967 Dodge Coronet.   In this video/slide presentation, you take a look at this sharp late 60s MOPAR . Bill added a couple of notes that it is dual exhaust with an H pipe and the Coronet is a solid driver. Other than a respray it is original. Vinyl top, interior, and all glass original. No bondo. All sheet metal original.

Take a look!!

#ProjectSR76 Steering Wheel Twist Part 3

I never think I’m an expert at anything, but I have a lot of experience restoring cars on my own (shade tree restorer).

While gaining this experience by working on my own cars, 66 Impala, 70 Duster, 70 Chevelle, 70 Mustang, 73 Mustang (#ProjectSR73), 84 C4 Corvette, 2006 C6, and 76 C3 Corvette (#ProjectSR76) and project managing the restoration of a rare early fuel injected VW Bug and two 55 Buicks, I’ve learned a lot, and I’ve seen a lot.  My 1973 Mustang comes to mind with the non-Mustang brakes.  So, finding what I did when working on #ProjectSR76, I wasn’t surprised.

This discovery created a good conversation in one of the FB Groups I frequent.  Let me know what you think after you watch the video.

Here ya go:

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.

#ProjectSR76 Center Console Dye Job

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.



The dash pad is up next – it is a new install, so no dying is required, and I’ll have the dash back together.

Thanks for viewing! Drop a comment!!

#ProjectSR76 Interior Dye – Part 6A Preparing to install Passenger Side

By | | , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I needed to install some of the completed dye pieces for the interior of #ProjectSR76.  If you recall, I’m undertaking a complete color transformation on the interior of my 1976 StingRay.    Keeping complete parts sitting around in my garage is not a great idea, so getting them back in the car is necessary.

For this episode, I’m preparing the large gaping hole on the passenger side.  But first, I need to put the AC Duct and vent back together as well as the panel itself.

Here is the prep:

Welcome back.

The goal for my 1976 Stingray is to change the interior from the dismal gray (that’s not the actually factory name) to black.

In this video I walk you through the process of cleaning and spray dying two parts of #ProjectSR76.   Enjoy!!!

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!

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.
