Western Flyer or JC Higgins, in poor shape, no thanks. The problem with building up a mediocre brand, is that there will be very little value to the bike when you are done. Put your money into a good frame, then go from there.
Personally, I would be looking at complete bikes. All of these are projects, and unless you have a shop full of parts already, building them up will be costly.
+1 to the below, the Carlton looks the closest.
