jc higgins hotrod 6-cyl

[62hotrod]

i found this cool jc higgins on ebay i liked the three tone paint scheme and the pipe decals but the draw back is it was $300.00 + shipping so i had an old higgins frame and i decided to build my own from my parts enventory i bought a firestone tank that fit great and also a chain guard i had the rest. its in the mock up stage a nice winter project with the pipe decals and a little paint i should have my own hotrod higgins....

I really like the way the old parts/frame and the painted tank and guard go together. I would not change anything!!! I know you may want to go decals and make it look like that one, but man - the way it is now looks GREAT!

For $300 that bike will hold it's value. Sounds expensive and maybe not for everyone's budget, but a solid investment at say $250. The tank alone is $100 - $125.

I'd say paint the rims red and do want you want with the rubber! Looks great either way!

that hotrod higgins is sweet and looks like you got the parts to build your own. good luck and what a perfect time for a winter project.
