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.

Thanks for checking in Part 2 and 3 coming up.

Finally took sometime to put together a few video for #ProjectSR76.

I’m going to try to do some heavy duty editing and show the final work and my mess up. It’s pretty ugly. But it’ll be fixed.

Enjoy and subscribe via YouTube.

Thanks for checking in.

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.

Thanks for checking!

I’ve started the replacement of the interior with upholstery for the seats. I’ve only completed this task on my Mustangs (1970 and 1973). I grabbed some numbers from the old stuff.

This shows what I think is a place to code the date for the upholstery. I’m guessing 1975 is the year the fabric was produced. I have no idea what the TEX is for but the numbers around it could be for marking the month. This appears all over the fabric.

This image show and FR in a triangle. No idea what that refers to (Front Right?)

This one image shows the FR with a date stamp of May 27 1976

Here is a metal seat tag. There is one on the seat bottom and one on the seat back. They have a part number it appears and then LS1 (perhaps the trim level?) “M 1476” (May 14, 1976?)

I’ll be posting up some videos shortly.

#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.
