How to update and restore my bike.Ideas of what to change and keep.

So heres my original Eatons of Canada Glider.

If anyone could give me advice on how to fix it up and what to change such as handlebars, seat, etc. it would appreciated.

Thanks  

 That looks like a stock AND complete original bicycle. It's beautiful!
It was clearly kept in a garage or indoor storage.
If I had this bike, I wouldn't custom build on it at all. This is a full restoration project.
All of the chrome parts; rims, fenders, sissy bar, handle bars, front sprocket, chain guard, cranks, and etc. looks restorable. For any rust on these parts, steel wool to begin with. This will wipe away to a shine. Apply this work to the spokes as well. Be careful around the deco on the chain guard. Is it a sticker or painted on?
I love this bike!    

Wow thanks for the compliments.
Yea I guess it is a classic and yes it has been kept indoors unless I'm taking it for a spin.

It is a sticker on the chain guard.
The odometer on the front is broken as the part connected to the wheel is stuck. And the back tire has some damage and if not careful is destine to pop. Should I replace them?

Thanks!

Also could anyone who reads this be able to give an approximate year or range of when it was made?  

RE: odometer/speedometer -
What part is connected to the wheel? Do you have a detail picture?

Does the gear shifter operate?

RE: rear tire - If you ride it, yes, you'll need to get a new tire for safety. Keep the original one for display.

RE: year of mfg. - I searched around for a while but could not find this bike. I speculate, '60s - '70s.  

I will upload a picture tomorrow.
Gear shift operates fully!

Yea I like to ride it, but nothing serious. Just city street coasting.

Thanks for all the help.  

Hey if anyone could give me some restoration tips it would be great. Such as how to clean the rust off the fenders and frame etc. Also if where to get any parts for it.

Thanks
