1976 Corvette Stingray: Restore, Repair, Detail: Photo Shoot of my 1976 Corvette Stingray

Sometimes, finding a suitable location to photograph a car can be the hardest portion of a photoshoot.

Fortunately, the photographer suggested the SunRail station parking lot in neighboring DeBary, FL.

And what a great location it proved to be.

Although the place is extremely busy during weekdays with commuters traveling to Orlando, we literally had the place to ourselves Saturday morning.

So we found a good spot to park and got busy snapping photos of my Vette.

Here are some photos I shot while the photographer did his thing.

Oftentimes, in order to capture the lines of a C3 Corvette, a photographer needs to get into "interesting" positions as the photo below shows, but the resulting photograph can be worth the effort.

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.
