JC Higgins project turned into two

[EastsideSchwinn]

What started as me trying to sell a Ladies Colorflow I didn't want, turned into me keeping it and picking up another. What gives?!

Picked up a frame and tank from a fellow Caber and swapped..

Since I plan on completely restoring them with minor mods.. everything shown is just a rough mock up.. so please excuse the sloppy rattle can paint jobs..

Picked up the chainguard at the LB Swap, and sprocket from a fellow Caber through the Wanted section.

and while searching for the few parts I needed to complete the sex change, I managed to find this beauty.

since I had most of the parts this one was missing, I purchased it and got to work.

Found a rack for the Lady Higgins and a nice Troxel seat for the boy Higgins..

And this is where I am so far.. I am missing a few odds and ends but they're both almost complete.

I'll keep updating as I get along, thanks for looking.

Killer work!
Ive got a 30's "curved truss" ladies bike that's complete but has a bent frame that I have been seriously considering swapping over to a boys frame at some point. Might have just motivated me...haha

Thank you! I'm a front wheel, fender brace, and a few gems short of complete, then comes the tedious work..lol.. as for the swap.. Do it! Haha!

Thanks to @tech549 for a few parts I was missing, they're both much closer to being complete.

I really like the look of the Original curved bars that you typically see on the Step through version, my only problem is they're a bit narrow. I found a wider and longer set of Dyno beach bars that have a close profile and cut them down a bit.

Since I was replacing the front wheel of the Step through, I figured it'd be the perfect time to swap tires on both bikes.

I found these Columbia Superb tires on Ebay, I think they look really close to the original Sears All State tires so I bought two sets.

As of now I'm still missing Pedals, a chain, a rear fender brace, and the pesky Bat wing headlights for them to be complete.

I'll be tearing them down soon so I could send all the chrome to get redone.. and start with the body work.
