Need some recomendations

Christmas is coming up and that means new toys! Ive been uing my bike to get to and from school for a while now and its served me great but its 98% stock and i dont have any performance parts on it. The bike is about 20 years old and its ready to be retired, again. So my idea was to get a $150 cruiser from dicks sporting good and make a better bike with my existing engine.
I know my engine is due for a top end rebuild so thats definitly on the list but i want to make this thing beautiful and reliable so thats were you guys come in. My plan is to make a modern looking cafe racer painted a flat od green. I would apreciate it if you guys gave me some recomendations as to brands/specific part and just general things to go on. Thank you all in advance.

My item list so far...
- rings and maybe cylinder/piston
- springer fork
- expansion pipe/muffler
- sproket/sproket adapter for cb-110
- front drum break and wheel with 12g spokes
- carberator

Something chinease made i think. Just a half step up from a walmart bike.

Hmmm probebly want to get a complete new wheel set then... I think then ill get a super cheap walmart bike for just the frame and crank set as thats hard to screw up. So who makes a good wheel set with a front drum? Preferably 12g spokes and a sprocket adapter compatable hub

Hmmm a disk brake instead... I like that idea. Only thing is i want a rear coaster because i like the foot brake and the cb-110 hub can work with the adapter.

Im thinking this rear wheel with a sprocket and adapter. http://www.piratecycles1.com/hu26x2rewhw1.html
