Does this look familiar to anyone?

This came from a local former Wheel Horse collector. I’m awaiting his name but I heard he was on this site.  The gentleman who built this or owned this passed away in April of this year.

Not sure who owned that. But it looks like a sharp machine.

To me it looks like brand new. Someone did a real nice job on keeping it looking good. Hopefully you can do the same.

I plan to complete some minor paint cleanup/touchup work.  I also plan to strip the wheels and powder them with new tires added.

No way, I'm really sorry to hear this.

 

TJ started the "What Are You Listening To" thread on this forum many years ago, one of my favorite places to visit on any forum anywhere.  I can't tell you how many hours I've spent listening to tunes there, both old favorites and new artists I've never even heard of.  Thank you Tom, and rest in peace sir.

 

Karl @nylyon will want to know.

I knew TJ very well back in the day.  I know he went to the Big Show back around 2010, 2011, 2012.  He also used to frequent Kelly's show near Lansing, Mi in those years.  Like Tuna says, he started the "What are you Listening to" thread.  He was good people and a Navy Veteran, and he was into Wheel Horse.  Rest in Peace Mate !!
