Continuing with the color change on my 1976 Corvette Stingray (#ProjectSR76) I tackle the interior top/roof trim pieces.
The will be a two-part video. I have had several viewers ask about seeing the entire process, so in this two-part episode, you’ll see the removal of the interior top/roof trim and a recap of the process of dying each piece.
Here is the removal and inspection of the trim pieces.
The cleaning and dying video is coming up!!

Originally this video was going to cover the driver’s side dash panel. However, it was a bit more work than the time I had.
A quick hitter was the inserts for the T-Tops.
Check it out!
Check back. There is still a lot more dying to come!!!

While doing the dye work to convert the ugly gray interior of SR76 (my 1976 Corvette) to black, I anticipated having issues with various parts. In this case, while doing the passenger side dash panel, I found that the air vent was functioning properly.
Here is how it works and what it needed to function properly.
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.

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!!!
Thanks for check in. More coming up!!

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.

My 1976 Corvette Stingray gets a new 1406.
Working with a new camera that died during recording left me with an older recording device that was a challenge to position and some of the work is just out of frame.
But it all went smooth and well take a look:
More coming up.
Thanks for checking in.

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.

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.
