62 Higgins "RATLINER"

[Sulley]

I just picked up this 1962 JC Higgins Spaceliner, its all there and i really want to do a kind of Rat bike, so its going to have all white tires, red and black rims no fenders not sure on the paint yet, yes its a chrome frame that someone has tried to paint so paint it is, it even has a Rat Trap front end. Sulley

Got the seat and rear wheel for it today.

I designed a decal for the chain guard.

Neck decal

Had a plate made up for it.

I think i will just wait till there is snow on the roads that way they will stay clean. : Sulley

Those tires need some brown shoe polish! Wipe on, wipe off.

Cool bike. What did you do to prep the chrome for paint? and what sort of primer and paint did you use?
