Went up to Memory Lane today. Found a beehive for my BoTEN bike. Also found this 26" Western Flyer badged CWC with jet graphics on the tank. Bike was pretty crusty, but I really think most of it is just dirt. The graphics were really dark and dirty. I took a sponge and some soap and water and it looks like they are going to clean up nice. I think this one is going to be sharp once it has been detailed.

SWEET!! I still love your last jet bike.
 
Why yes I sure do! And it looks like you might have another Awsome build on your hands Terry, I would love to see what you end up doing with this. I love the jet themed bikes, especially as complete as this. Pure Awsomeness!
 
Thanks guys....I think it is going to be a stunner with some elbow grease. I'll probably just clean it up and put some nice wheels/tires and make a rider out of it. I think I'm going to swap the fender braces out with some CWC curved braces.
 
Memory Lane had nice deals on Higgins beehive springers.... $50-70 depending on the chrome.
Wow, that's not bad at all...I bought a ladies tank from them thought the price was very fair (their customer service is great too).....I live in Connecticut so a visit be a few tanks of gas.
