Hello Everyone,
I joined back in November right after I bought my 67 Toro, but was slow in introducing myself.
I am a single car transporter of Classics/Hot Rods/Exotics all over the country & that allows me to see lots of good stuff for sale, hence the fact the Toro makes number 12 collector type cars! LOL
My Toro came from the high desert area of Southern Idaho, so it was 99% rust free & original paint except for the passenger fender. It was running & driving but if course the interior was trashed & was a great candidate for a restoration. So as of today, it is painted & I am currently doing 4 rounds of wet sanding before I buff it, the interior is at my interior guys shop being worked on (hopefully), I just picked up the re-chromed bumpers at Tri-City Plating during my last transport trip & have been very generous to Fusicks & a couple other places for carpet, headliner, all new rubbers, emblems, etc,etc,etc I still have to pull the dash out to replace the top piece & restore the dash itself as well as install the tilt/tele column I bought for it. I am in the process of building 3 cars, so I don't know if it will be out this year or not, but at least it still runs & drives so I can move it around the shop!
Looking forward to reading more threads on the forum & maybe picking some brains on some of the more obscure intricacies of the Toro
God Bless
