Hello Everyone,

I was able to have some time between transport trips & got some work done on my 67!

These pictures are of parts for all three cars I am currently building, so actual progress on the Toro is small but it is progress!

Had the radiator re-cored, my interior guy came out & installed the headliner with sail panels. I also find the "Blast Cabinet" addictive, so I spend hours blasting parts (even to just remove paint on rust-free parts), then epoxy them all & then spray them with single stage urethane.

God Bless

I like that cross flow radiator. Bruce Roe

A year & a half has seen little progress on my 67, but I did load it up on the open trailer, take it outside on a nice day & blow the dust off of it!

I still have not wet sanded & buffed the actual shell (all the body parts painted off the car are wet sanded buffed, waxed & safely stored wrapped in blankets)

Only real progress is the complete gutting of the engine compartment, so that it can be properly detailed. Also my interior guy came out to install the headliner & sail panels. He is a bit slow & still has not started on the seats/door panels. I did call him a couple of weeks ago to put a bug in his ear, so hopefully he will get started soon.

I believe I have purchased just about all the parts needed to put it back together & it is slated to be next for assembly as soon as I can get the gremlins worked out of the 55 Nash & the 64 Grand Prix which were supposedly done earlier this summer. Tried to take one or both of them down to a show in Kentucky & had so many minor issues that I chucked the idea. The wife & I jumped into one of the transport trucks & drove down without a car

As always time is my biggest problem, being on the road so much keeps me from working on any of them much!

God Bless

One last picture & if you look closely you can see pretty much the only rust hole in this amazingly clean High Desert Idaho car...Of course it was caused by the battery!

That's nice. Ya I hate going to shows if I'm not driving one of my vehicles!

Thanks Otto,

Yes it was a bummer to not take a car, but I am so glad we went anyway! This had been planned for almost a year & we met so many great guys from the HAMB Forum & I am sure made some lifelong friends.

God Bless
