Any help identifying a prewar camelback?

Finally riding a big boys bike
I picked up this bike today. It's a little beat up, has some wrong parts, but I saved it from becoming yard art for at least the second time in its life. I'm not the greatest at identifying bikes, but it does have some Schwinn-like traits. I think I will try to remove some of the spray paint to see if there is any original paint underneath. Any help in identifying it would be much appreciated!

That looks like the frame for an Aerocycle, but with some other parts thrown on to make a rider. Based on the number, I'd say a '35

1935 Aerocycle frame.
Check the date code on the crank. It may be original to the frame.
Find an early Schwinn fork and just run it as a roadster.
People that know what it is, will flip when they see it.
I like the carcass bikes. It's kind of mysterious knowing what once was, but is barely visible now.
Kind of like an old archeological ruin.
