Nice looking build so far! The cahinring/crank looks columbia to me, similar to whats on my '56. Neverming the bike though, the millenium falcon and the at-at are sweet!

Yeah, I already found him xD
Can you tell us alittle about the rim width and tires perchance?
I'm currently working on a very similar build, but no rack and only black/white. Went with 2.35" balloon whitewalls. Wondering if I should have gone with a normal wheel at the back tho, balloons can be hard to pedal when you're my size.

My tires are 2.125 wide

I bought my rims on here from ind-chuckz they are 1" wide. The rear has a nexus 3 speed hub

Started stripping the tank today. I might straighten it out. I'm also leaning toward just repainting the the white. I know I'll dent it on my first ride :) I slid my chain guard on. I have decals for it. I plan on putting them on once I'm sure I have everything the way I want it

Nice work. What is your wheel dimension, 1.75 width rim? And the tire size? Like the combo!
 
It's looking great! The cranks look like the original with the pedals. Only the chain ring and the old seat look like they didn't come new with the bike. Definitely a Columbia chain wheel.
But it works well with your theme of a big Stingray. It's similar to the ones used on the fastbacks:

Just for fun, here's what your bike looked like new, from the 66 catalog:

It was on the bike when I bought it so I used it. That fastback is beautiful
