Finishing up the speedometer and tach bezel on my 76 Sting Ray.
I’m pleased with the outcome. They aren’t new, but they look much better and cleaner than the old gray color.
#ProjectSR76 is looking good on the inside.

Removal of #ProjectSR76 driver-side bezel was a tough one.
Lots to disconnect. More light blubs than on the Vegas Strip. Oh yeah, and dropping the steering column.
Let me know what you think.
Part II is coming up.

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.

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.
