I never  do this!!!

But I wanted to check on my old 1973 Mustang Sports Roof.  #PRojectSR73!

I spoke with the new owner and he stated ” Hi Tim, I  premiered it black, was going to get it painted but this Camaro came up for sale so I bought it instead. It’s basically in the same condition of the Mustang with the finished interior but in need of paint. It’s going to take awhile being that paint jobs are crazy expensive.

#SR73 has a roommate”

 

 

Nick as given #ProjectSR73 and wrap!   He states:  “I just got the mustang “wrapped” for half the cost of paint for now. I think it came out pretty nice, I will update you when I finish the the small details that I still plan on doing.  The Wrap last 3-5 years with normal use, Being the car will be garaged and not washed on a regular basis it should last longer. PS; you really did a great job rebuilding this car, It runs and drives awesome! Thanks, Nick.”

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.

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.

#Project SR76 (my 1976 Stingray) is getting a new interior – converted to black. Tearing down the passenger seat and cataloging production numbers and dates.


Next up will be the back of the seat. It’s a bit more complicated.

 

Thanks for checking!

#PROJECTSR76 Door Panels Can We Save Them

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 !!
