Reconditioning parts can save money, and it gives you a bit of pride when it comes out looking good.
That is without the pockets
That is the case with #ProjectSR76 take a look.
Kick Panels are up next and these have a unique mod – Factory or Dealer?
Thanks for checking back.

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.

Welcome back.
I’m working on the interior of my 1976 Corvette StingRay – #ProjectSR76. This is a color conversion from the ugly original gray to black.
In this episode, I’m working on the passager side dash panel, which contains the vent and the pockets.
Check out the progress.

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!!

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.

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.
Everything should be this easy.
#ProjectSR76 Tach problem is solved.
Take a look:

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.
