Best Frame to build a beach cruiser?

[Thee]

I want to build a cool beach cruiser. I was thinking S-2 wheels, block tires, 3-speed w/coaster brakes, stingray bars and a comfy seat. For cruising San Diego boardwalks. What are the best frames to start with? I have seen them built with Typhoons, Corvettes, Racers, Etc. I really don't know the differences in all the models. I like bikes with some personality to them as compared to a standard store bought bike. And I think it would be a fun project to build it.

I just bought a '62 Fleet but I am starting to like it kind of as it is. It is nothing special but I get comments on it every time I ride it.

Thanks!

Personality is the way to go!! I don’t normally like to draw attention , but my bikes sure do

Get Funky

I must say, that's unusual.

@Thee I like that one! What is the chain hanging from the left side?

Look’s like a wheel driven siren to me. Similar to this one

It’s a siren for pulling over inebriated riders down at the SD board walk before they scrub into the shrubs hahahaha

The best frame for a cruiser is a cruiser frame ‘79 imo or an ‘80 for fenders, go moto for high bars
