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.

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

Next up will be the back of the seat. It’s a bit more complicated.

Thanks for checking!

I’ve started the replacement of the interior with upholstery for the seats. I’ve only completed this task on my Mustangs (1970 and 1973). I grabbed some numbers from the old stuff.

This shows what I think is a place to code the date for the upholstery. I’m guessing 1975 is the year the fabric was produced. I have no idea what the TEX is for but the numbers around it could be for marking the month. This appears all over the fabric.

This image show and FR in a triangle. No idea what that refers to (Front Right?)

This one image shows the FR with a date stamp of May 27 1976

Here is a metal seat tag. There is one on the seat bottom and one on the seat back. They have a part number it appears and then LS1 (perhaps the trim level?) “M 1476” (May 14, 1976?)

I’ll be posting up some videos shortly.

Let me start with this:

I HATE ELECTRICAL WORK. I really didn’t pay attention in Shop class (yes I’m that old) nor in 4H when we made lamps. Plus I had a few mishaps during several attempts to repair things. Once I was drilling a hole with an electric drill in a an aluminum door and hit a wire hidden by the previous home in the frame. The drill bit exploded and I fell off the ladder and my drill fried. Add that to a few fried wires, radios and computer boards during failed attempts at soldering and you’ll get a well rounded picture of my electrical wheelhouse. Oh, toss in the fact that I’m colored blind and well…you get it.

I’ve a bit better experience with cars, but not enough to be comfortable.

Thanks for checking.

Tim
