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.

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.

#ProjectSR76 Interior Dye – Part 6A Preparing to install Passenger Side

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!!!

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.

A DAY WITH #PROJECTSR76 PART 3 – Speedometer

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.

 


Thanks for checking.

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.
