welcome to the Pit Bull family WestSacGreenDesign, good kit to start on and amazing value what finished product you can end up with.
Take your time and have a good read of the 'how to build thread'. If you have any questions fire away on the forum there is always plenty of help and experienced builders and LP-1 kit probably being one of the better sellers plenty of builders to guide you through the build.
Start a build diary and take lots of photos, and enjoy the build !
