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.

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.

#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.

Welcome back!

Thanks for checking on #ProjectSR76.

Spurred on by the original moisture barrier discovery, I decided to pull the spare tire. Would it be original tire and rim?

 


 

More coming up on seat belts.
