So, some may consider this blasphemy but 
I need to step away from the charger from hell build for a bit. This seemed like a good quickie project to get my head straight with.
Its a JoHan Dealer Promo of a 66 Olds Toronado. The 66s' are fairly rare...But, I tore it apart anyway! Stripped the chrome from the bumpers (It was shabby and showing its age) Did some body work to remove mold lines and sink marks. The body was an ugly not desireable color...Beige
with a pale sorta blue interior. Not any more!! I painted the body Chevrolet Crystal Claret Red and the interior VW Salsa red. Cleared the body...Cut and buffed it...Just have to do the chrome foil and Alclad the bumpers and re assemble it now...Chassis shows the original color of the body, yuck! next pic shows the original color of the interior. next are a few pics of the new color cut and buffed. Heres a few of the interior.Yeah those are the bumpers in black,ready for Alclad.
Stay tuned!!!
