Centrix Bike !? Unknown vintage cruiser

Hi , i purchase a vintage bike few years back and after extensive research , i could not find any trace of the brand or any "Same" frame design ...
Could some of you be able to identify it ? how old /how much was made / history behind it (i think it's from the early 40's) Thanks!
The bike is a cruiser with a board track racer style , it's 26"x2" rims with a centrix costerbrake hub "serial number unidentifiable cause of the rust"
the paint was dark red with white pint stripes all over it ... i say was cause when i bought it , it was mostly sanded and spray can painted
the emblem is in brass , CENTIX over a wheel , and there was a name under it , but it has been worn down ,so i cant read it what so ever
here are some pictures of the bike striped down and some of it when rebuilt on temporary parts ...

The bike came with no tank , maybe there was one originally ? .but this one is made by me

Thank you very much for you help !
