Unless you have a massive shop and really good fabrication experience, you will probably require some of the premade parts, so check out what some of the manufacturers have out there (you know Santee for frames, etc.) Naturaly you will probably have more options if you go for a more traditional raked and stretched American style bike (more: fender styles, drivetrain options, forks etc). Also, you should probably find a reputable painter that you like, for whan you get to that point. This whole project is something that I'd really like to do sometime in my life as well!
