I picked up this '66 Olds Toronado a few years ago and have been slowly working on it. Glad to have found this site as Pro Touring best describes my goals for the car.
The motor has been at the machine shop for a few years also and I have recently finished mocking up a roller cam conversion.
This winter I plan to get down to work on the body and running gear.

Welcome. Toronados are cool and way ahead of their time. Great lines on those cars!

Wow, nice project. Not a car I would have expected to see here. I will be following this build.

Engine is almost done.
I converted the 425 to hydraulic roller lifters, not as easy as it sounds as the 425 uses .921 dia lifters which required a cam with a reduced base circle
