The transformation continues on my 1976 Corvette StingRay (#ProjectSR76), and the interior color change from the ugly factory gray to place is nearly done. Take a look at the before and after.



Still a bit more to accomplish.

Finishing up the speedometer and tach bezel on my 76 Sting Ray.

I’m pleased with the outcome. They aren’t new, but they look much better and cleaner than the old gray color.

#ProjectSR76 is looking good on the inside.

There are still some major areas to tackle for the color conversion, but the T-Top inserts are done.

I had to do some repairs, and they aren’t perfect, but they will suffice for now.

Check out the video!

Thanks for checking back.

Thanks for checking back on #ProjectSR76. Still working on the interior, dying from the ugly stock gray to black.

Several requests from viewers to see the cleaning process and applying the dye. So I’ve shown the process in this video.

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.

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.

 



Thanks for watching.

In this episode, I’m working on the passager side dash panel, which contains the vent and the pockets.

Check out the progress.
