Claude Thibodeau Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 WoW! You made the most of a basically simplified promo-type assembly. Masterful. Bravo! CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucky Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 All the words I could have used here have already been used! I'll add that I think this is a TOP SHELF build of an almost timeless body design. I have a couple AMT '67 kits, and a '68, plus a Jo-Han '70 Toronado kit. I hope to start the '68 soon, as that year is my favorite Toronado.

bisc63 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 You really did this car a justice; beautiful, clean build of one of GM's most handsome automobiles. We need a new-tool first generation Toronado. YOU HEAR ME, MOEBIUS?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenGuthmiller Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Absolutely perfect as I would expect from you Yuri! We really need some outdoor shots of this one though. That's where your builds cease to be a model and immediately become the real car!! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertw Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Looks like a near perfect restoration and the photography is perfect. In particular I like the shots taken on glass. This presentation is as good as it gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Excellent, excellent build. The only thing I caught....the engine should be gold, the transmission unfinished aluminum. Your photography, as always is exemplary. I have an unbuilt '66 I plan to build soon, in Dubonnet. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RestoModGuy Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 As always, perfection! When I see your post, I'm so impressed with your craftsmanship quality to detail with every build you craft. I have to ask, where are the windshield wipers from? I imagine PE, I've never seen those like yours, so high in detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other Olds engines at that time could have also been gold. bronze or red the Toro engines were only light blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This past weekend, I ran into a mostly-original '66 Toro at a car show, and, much to my surprise, the engine was a shade very close to Pontiac's metallic blue. Turns out the gold engines were in the other lines (F-85, 88 and 98.) Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pontiac's metallic blue is much closer. Also, I don't think that bright blue showed up until around 1968. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disabled modeler Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Just beautiful....! I have the same one to restore someday. Id like to find a 72 promo or model to have a replica of my first real car for my collection someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
