Picked up an Aristocrat from mp a while ago. Pat Pending with steel wheels. Well the wheels were toast to say the least, missing ash pan, missing back side bowl handle, and bottom of bowl had been painted. I had some work ahead of me.
Long story short, with advice and inspiration from a couple of members here, and the wheel restore write up, I gave the wheels some life.
Ash pan from Jeff and painted handle from @brewtownbeatdown.
Big thanks to those that helped and inspired me! (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210909/6c1052624d20d65b86f0897ac0b06db3.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210909/7dd32504d4dc66f2e5468c1be4507f01.jpg)

A great example of the WKC motto (Rescue - Restore - Respect). Nice work.
