Got all the bits painted and hope to put them back today. Really looking forward to the new look as it never looked right to me with the headlights visible.

that was the day I brought my toro home. The metal under the windshield was rusted out, and it had no windshield. I've since repaired it :P

And, yes, that looks weird seeing lights through grill

Years Owned: My first Toronado was a 1968 W-34 with the bucket seats and center console... (weeps gently) It was a New England rustbucket in 1982 after less than 14 years. So sad. But it is what infected me and before I knew it I had another '68, a '69, a '70 and eventually inherited a friend's '67 and another friends '73. After buying my brand new Grand Prix in 1988 I retired the last of my Toronados and pulled the 455 I had rebuilt along the way and put it into storage in a friend's barn where it is to this day.
In Mid September of 2010 I happened to see a repeat of the show where Jay Leno did his 66 Toronado and had an instant remission of the disease which resulted in my purchase of a 1969 in very good condition. I am now in the process of fully rehabilitating it and hope to have it on the road in the spring of 2011.

I got it all assembled and wow! :shock: What a difference! 8-) I can't wait to get the EFI finished and see what it looks like in a nice pose! New photos to be posted for sure.
I have my Fuel Injected Toronado. Life is good! 8-)
