I kind of like that side facing air cleaner like you'd see on a GT14. Looks like you done approximately all right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have a good eye....its a 1976....all original except for the addition of the extra large Air Cleaner, and an intake from a GT 14....sucks in much cooler air, instead of the hot exhaust..Its a nice addition to the herd... He gave me all of the original items for the WH, air cleaner, muffler...etc. that were removed / exchanged thanks Eric !! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Independent what color your Rims have other Color( as far as i remember to read) firstly i thought replate , but if they bee to bad in shape you can sandblast, powdercoat in the Rim’s color and as the tip of the i - an applications with a brush and red color the Wheelhorselogo and the Text. Think that will look extreme sexy. @echris i like my creative Chaos.. 😂 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 10,761 #6943 Posted October 10, 2020 I like your line of thinking, Tractorhead, kinda my thought also. Paint the caps the same color as the rims, the lettering black or red and the paint the logo just as it should be. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TonyToro 1,034 #6945 Posted October 10, 2020 Well it’s more like what I’d like to be doing with a WheelHorse. I just found out Middlesex livestock auction is have the fall equipment auction and there is a WheelHorse with what looks like a front end loader on it. I want to go but I am running up to New Hampshire with a buddy to get his new corvette. If anyone is local check it out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
