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!

#ProjectSR76 Interior Dye – Part 6A Preparing to install Passenger Side

I needed to install some of the completed dye pieces for the interior of #ProjectSR76.  If you recall, I’m undertaking a complete color transformation on the interior of my 1976 StingRay.    Keeping complete parts sitting around in my garage is not a great idea, so getting them back in the car is necessary.

For this episode, I’m preparing the large gaping hole on the passenger side.  But first, I need to put the AC Duct and vent back together as well as the panel itself.

Here is the prep:

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.

 


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.

 



Thanks for watching.

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!

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.
