This thread is good at breaking people. You are in good company.
You know, I'm not very good at math myself. Numbers hurt my head...especially the numbers following a dollar sign and affiliated with Campagnolo items.
BTW I actually did order some of those stickers lol. They will look PERFECT sandwiching the 'Huffy 12 Speed' seat tube graphic. Lest we forget that Huffy was the winning steed for a World Champi...err, a local race Championship in the real wor...err, in a fake TV series.
STILL!
Lest we forget the Huffy's Championship Pedigree! It deserves those 'World Champion' colors!
Photographic evidence of the Le Grande's winning race pedigree. Pay no attention to the fact that these are all paid actors. It's about heart!

Every Huffy owner I ever knew referred to the rear triangle as the 'back forks'

Wouldn't gas pipe be more appropriate than electrical conduit for the brake adapter? Just tell the guy you need three inches of gas pipe when you go to pick up the tubulars at Home Depot.

I like the idea of using one of these without the strap. It is made of iron so it is fitting for the Huffy.

Lol c'mon guys! You are NOT helping my goal of trying to make this thing into a lightweight! I don't need more gaspipe, conduit, and iron...I need less! Hence the 'H' cutout
Speaking of the 'H' panto, here is the current state:
There are a few janky looking parts, but mainly that is just where the paint got scraped away. Got some other plans for this spot to make it stand out even more. This is just the beginning!

Note that Mike, Cyril, and Dave all have a hand on the bike, while Moocher seems to be conveying outright disgust by keeping his hands off.

Also, no gas pipe fittings...either a seatpost carcass or a piece from another huffy would suffice.

Sweet!
Not only the design and execution, but because it allows viewing (for now, anyway) of Huffy's famous and fantabulous attention to detail regarding the precise workmanship manifested in that flawless mitering and brazing of the seat tube into the shell
But seriously, very nice work! But that rear fender tab hanging onto that kickstand plate for dear life? It's gotta be weaned, and let out into the world to make its own way. Time to kick it outta the nest!

Just sayin'.
But yeah: you might want to sit down before looking at the prices.
There were a couple of Vaientino RDs being sold semi-cheap that had hangers; one of them might work as a hanger donor. This one was the cheapest ($20-ish with shipping and sales tax).
https://www.ebay.com/itm/134441311024
Unfortunately, I didn't see any used Campagnolo hangers. But someone here might be able to help out (I have almost no Campagnolo parts, so regrettably I can't donate one to the cause).

Heart shape = De Rosa
Club shape = Colnago
Spade = ????
Diamond = ???
And wow, I had no idea that back in the 1930s, a 5-suit card deck made a brief appearance, called the 'Five-Suit Bridge' -
I like this, a lot. Lot's of symbolism. Powerful symbol, once appeared, then disappeared. To re-appear again?? To rule them all???
I can get down w/ an eagle pantograph, although the relative obscurity of the reference would be lost on most people - haha just like most everything else I'm doing to a Huffy in this build. I'm digging it. It fits with the 'avant-garde' nature of the build.

You would not believe what kind of meals Campy provided for employees courtesy of the Communist Party unions. The serving line started with an appetizer section with a guy hand slicing prosciutto and was as long as a Vegas casino buffet.
