Do that and an alloy crankset and you'll have something.
I'm tweaking a Grand Prix a few years older right now, a Gazelle-made one. Put an old SR Apex crankset on it and am scrounging for wheels.
Take a look at these:

My local Dick's Sporting Goods will sell the same wheels a couple of bucks cheaper and you don't have to pay freight.
For myself, I'll just wait until something useable comes through the dump
