Almost done with the entire dash (nearly done with the entire interior – at least the dying part). Take a look at how the center console turns out.

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!

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:

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.
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.

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.
