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!!!

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.

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:

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.

#ProjectSR76 Got A Spare?

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.
