Looks pretty straight under all of that orange paint. I like the wood grain decals on the Chargers, gives them a nice classy look.

Just got back to work on my 1970. It came from a friend that I have been doing repair work on his other Wheelhorses. I've been searching for a .pdf manual that I can down load.

Glad to have found this thread, looking at a $50 electro 12 myself, not sure year, but as it seems to be a hard to find item that was a top of the line model and only made a few years, I don't actually care anyway lol. Also thanks for the wiring info! I thought with a name like "electro" it was going to be a complex wiring nightmare, but I forget this is the end of the 1960s when common sense still existed and things were designed with the homeowner in mind rather than this competition between engineers of who can be the most ridiculous (I am an auto mechanic, I have a natural disdain for automotive engineers at this point). This forum never stops amazing me even if I don't post things. I should be putting up some pics and video soon! Your new project looks like its going to be a ton of fun restoring and look forward to progress pics!

If you plan to post a video please put it on YouTube first and the attach a link to it. Videos take up a lot of storage on the site and can be a PITA to load.

I picked up an electro 12 a few years ago and put a k341 on it. I'm putting a hydro lift on it from a scrap 160 which will be nice but the thing I like the most is that it has a 10 pinion limited slip rear end. Mine is a '73 no name and it's a strong machine.
