A steel beach cruiser painted an appropriate color will suffice. It is not necessary to stretch the frame to make a boardy, but the more accomplished builders do it and it looks more authentic.
With the right handlebars, seat placement, perhaps a unique fuel tank and springer fork, you can have the board track look.
There is no standard formula for a board tracker, so you can use your creativity and make it unique without a lot of money and fabrication.

Hey. I put in my 2 cents in your post in General Discussion. The more board track bikes you see, the more you realize how much variety there is among them.

one of those Worksman bikes with two top tubes. still being made right here in the U.S. of A. the Industrial Newsboy is the model you'll want, IIRC.

and any old diamond frame bike with a long gas tank under the top tube would be a good place to start.
