Hi C.J.!
Thanks for the kind reply. The toronado.org site still seems to be down, can't get it to open....
I have owned my 1966 Toronado now for about 4 months. I've been doing quite some work on it myself, one of the projects being the overhaul/rebuilding of the headlight vacuum actuators. RT Engineering sells a nice kit with new springs, SS pistonshaft and special springs to seat the rubber piston.
The radiator core support problem is being tackled by a shop that did the welding/repairs to the support. It involved dismantling the complete front of my car i.e. the bumper,grille,radiator,headlights, core support etc.
In the proces I fabricated a new splash apron that I will fit when it all goes back together.
The result should be nice!
Kind regards, Mick
