rat rod material

[thom]

Picked this up on Friday. I believe it is a JC Higgins although it has Western Flyer grips on it. I'm thinking new tires and chain, repack or replace bearings throughout an d call it a finished ratrod.

Is something missing from these pedals?

It would look super cool with the crank and chain all polished up but everything else all rusty! How much did u pay for that anyway?!

I think this frame would make an awesome flip bike.

I paid 9 dollars and change at the local scrap yard.

I realized that I already had a bike like this one in my pile. I dug it out.



Then on Monday I found #3.




The frame on old #1 appears to have been chrome ( or nickel?) plated.

Awesome, yours has a different tank than my two. Mine are JC Higgins and sold by Sears still has the little Sears sticker on the head tube.
