Re: The Hot Rod Higgins

Ok, since this is the final weekend, I thought I would post a few more pics of the Hot Rod. These were taken at a local race shop. I had a blast working on this bike. I learned a lot and I pushed the boundaries of my “skills”. Flat out, this is the best I could do. Regardless of votes, I feel like I already "won". Before the contest started, I had a box of rusty parts. Now I have the bike I wanted and I had fun in the process. That is a heck of a "prize" if you think about it. Congrats to all you guys!

Anyway, on to the pics

Great job. Love this bike

Thanks man....I have to say, I love riding it. Gets a lot of attention for sure. It was a blast to build. RRBBOs are my favorite time of the year. I can't believe it is almost over already!
 
Re: The Hot Rod Higgins

My bike actually got it's 50th vote today. That is totally unreal to me that so many people voted for the Higgins. I mean my goal was 5-10 votes. Finishing in the top 10 would be the coolest thing ever. Seriously, thanks to everyone who voted for my bike. I appreciate the support. Now granted I am still over 50 votes behind MoFaux! :lol: :lol:
 
CONGRATS on second place buddy!!
You already know that this was a favorite of mine early on. It's one of those bikes that every one would love to have and ride!!!!
What a great build to follow!!!
Pure class!!!
BRAVO!!!
 
Thanks man...I've had a blast. HRH is a fun bike for sure. I am planning to start a new build this weekend. While I was working on HRH, I had a few ideas on different directions to go, so I think I'll "expand" on the Higgins with this new bike and see where it takes me.
 
These Kenny valve caps will be headed your way soon. I promised them from the BO7 Prize Pot to 2nd Place.

Check out the colors...blue base, orange clothes, green stuffed animal....those are the colors of my pinstriping on the Higgins. That's just freaky... :shock:
 
That's pretty cool. They look pretty cool on too.

You can see a pair of the red base ones on Fugsley in this shot.

I LOVE THIS BIKE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH - WHAT AN AMAZING JOB!
 
Thanks guys. I totally appreciate the nice words. I'm glad people enjoy the bike. It was a killer experience being in the buildoff with such cool and talented builders. I can't begin to tell you how much I learned from everyone!

Such a sick ride, one of my favs on here! And i love the lettering and colors chosen, looks so good

Thanks! I am still in bike building hangover after this one. I've been tinkering around on a couple of things, but just haven't been motivated to start another build.

I've been riding the Higgins and taking it to shows/rides. It's a fun bike and gets lots of attention....but our days together are numbered. I have a few more shows I want take it to and then I'll probably sell/trade it after the first of the year and gear up for RRBBO8. I'm only looking to improve by ONE spot next year! :lol:
