Hello! I'm new to the forum... I have a 1965 chrome Sears Spaceliner that I'm interested in converting to a custom MTB style bike... My question is, will an axle mounted rear derailleur work on this frame with a 7 speed hub? I think this custom will turn out waaaay cool!

Should work, you'll need to spread and align the frame and dropouts. What will you do for a rear brake?
 
I met a guy who's an awesome frame builder, his welding is impeccable... I wanna have him weld on sum brake bosses for me in the rear, then have the frame re-chromed. I have a rigid fork with bosses for the front.
 
spaceliner 7 speed

Frame will need to be spread to 5" If you can do that the rest is easy. Buy a Nexus 7 speed internal brake with coaster brake
