The replacement of the haft shaft on #ProjectSR76 is underway. In part 1, I provide a few tips on making that easier. Part 2 will show the installation and any issues I encounter getting them right.

Check back to see part 2 and check out all my videos.

#ProjectSR76 Troubleshooting the Power Steering

Like all classic cars, leaks have to be dealt with. I don’t personally subscribe to the notion that all old cars leak. They do until you fix them.

My 76 Stingray gets fewer miles to the quart of power steering fluid than it does miles per gallon of gas. So, I need to shake down the unit to see where it’s coming from.

This video shows my process.

Thanks for watching, and drop me a note, and a like, and subscribe.

Getting close to finishing the refresh/restore and color conversion of the interior of my 1976 Stingray.

If you remember, it was pretty ugly and broken.

In this segment, I recovered the new doors; the old ones weren’t salvageable. Take a look.

The gray, drab, and ugly steering column has been dealt with. I’m not 100% happy with it.

I’ll have to rethink it. Let me know what you think.
