CWC Jet tanker and more

[Terry66]

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.

Whats a CWC Jet in this condition worth?

 

[blwnmny]

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!

Please keep us up to date on the detailing of this one, you don't see them that often.

 

[Terry66]

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.

And then sell it to me? Kidding!

Memory Lane had nice deals on Higgins beehive springers.... $50-70 depending on the chrome.

Seriously Terry, keep us posted. That thing looks like it could be killer.

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.

Very cool. The curved braces will look good too.

 

[Terry66]

Well...here she is for now. I need a CWC chainguard, a better chainring, a light and some grips and she'll be an awesome rider.
