Well maybe more like left on the side of the barn, but it’s a mostly complete as ridden stock KHRM. This post may be a bit premature as it’s still in my van (drove from Long Beach, CA to the US Canadian boarder to pick up) but I bought it and an as raced ‘54 KH (has vertical Wico and MR3) 14 months ago...thanks to the world ending I couldn’t get them across the boarder until now.
It’s crustier than i hoped but i guess beggars can’t be choosers when it comes to finding an intact KHRM. It’s gonna be a long term mechanical resto, gonna start soaking rusty parts when i get home...anyway i am pretty excited after not being educated enough when i found the super clean original blue ‘55 KHRM 6 years ago or so.

Well pictures would be nice but my phone takes much bigger file sizes than they allow here...anybody have a 2022 era solution?

Send them to me, I'll post them for you. Alternatively, get them on a PC with photo editing software and compress or resize.

Ok will do, i just abhor turing a computer on anymore. Used to have to be on one for a decade and if i never had to sit at one again it would be too soon! Want them DM’d or text? I’m at 7one4 six8six 54six4

Yes Grant! I'm so glad you finally got to pick it up. I can't wait to see it. I'm heading to LA and SLC over the coming couple months, I hope I can cross paths with you and see it up close. Great score, thanks for keeping the fire lit. I'll post some photos of my KHK shortly.

Hi guys ! What a fantastic find and so original. I too have a 1954 KHRM and I live in Los Angeles so that’s 4 I know of in LA now . Maybe we should meet up and chew the fat . Mine has been in a box for 20 yeas now and I really should start on it .
