You can pontificate forever, the bottom line is be realistic about your skills and the things you can do. Read all the books you like but it won't help in the specific problems that will confront you. This forum and the collective knowledge of everyone here can help you enormously but it is still you building the car. Choose your kit, get started and be prepared for challenges and factor into your budget those tasks you can't complete yourself and don't kid yourself there are plenty of things you will need help with.
