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.

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.

I had the chance to tackle a few things the need some attention on my 76 Stingray (#ProjectSR76).
Three things I worked today and only one had a resolution.
Here is the first mini project I tackled.

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.
Maybe the most fun you can have when restoring a old car is the tear down process. Discovering the hidden gems like signatures of the installer, factory repair tags and other unique things.
#ProjectSR76 is fun to work on for those reasons.
Check out the discovery and don’t forget subscribe updates here and on YouTube.
Continuing on with the tear down of the passenger seat for #ProjectSR76. All part of my 1976 Corvette Stingray restoration.

Love it when new stuff comes in for a project.
For #ProjectSR76, the new carpet is in and the hard backs for the seats.
Take a look:

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