1976 Corvette Stingray: Restore, Repair, Detail: Night Moves

Blame it on boredom or tiredness after a long day, but I had to shoot a few photos of my Corvette after a late-night paint polishing session in my small garage.

Unfortunately, my iPhone—or any other camera for that matter—is incapable of capturing the "mood," but at least some of the pics show the shiny surfaces as well as the intricate and sexy shapes of a C3.

It is obvious I am not a professional photographer, but that won't keep me from trying and sharing my C3 with the world!

Thank you for following my '76 Vette Blog!

Steering Column Swap

1977-1982 Corvette steering columns have several advantages over the 1968-1976 units, the most notorious being the overall length of the assembly.

When compared side-by-side, the difference is obvious and significant, even though newer columns are shorter by only 2 inches. However, that small difference translates into a HUGE benefit for the driver—especially tall drivers with long arms.

In this series of articles, I chronicle the process of modifying and rebuilding a 1978 tilt and telescoping steering column that I plan to use in my 1976 Corvette.

Here are all installments of the series.
