fiatboy Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Is this kit based on the Jo Han '70 Toronado kit? I need a chassis, etc., for a resin kit Toronado kit, '66, from Speed City Resin, in Castaic, CA. ( I have the '70 polystyrene kit from Jo Han, and it fits beautifully! Now I'd like another chassis for '70 styrene kit!) I love the Toronados. I think there is another kit, styrene, of another model year Toronado, but I don't prefer the styling. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 It's based on the MPC Toronado kit ('67-'68 only), but it is very similar to the Jo-Han kit. Engine and chassis are very similar, main difference there is that Jo-Han had inner front fenders, firewall, and radiator bulkhead were separate parts while MPC had all of those as a single piece. The MPC chassis is modified, shortened behind the rear wheels. Otherwise, it should be workable for what you want to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatboy Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 Thanks for the great info, Mark. Maybe I can pick up one of these 'customs' for cheap if I am patient. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyser Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Thread around here somewhere. Annuals. AMT issued JH in different years. MPC had diff tool for 67-8 and Mannix/Californian. JoHan Oldies 70 was long after the annuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
