Good luck, and give that bar wrap a try. Most tape these days is pretty forgiving, if you screw up you get do-overs! And as far as the overall build goes, good luck, and don't be so hard on yourself. Just the fact that you appear to be using all new parts (or close to it) is a huge advantage. Most of my builds are 90% soaking, sanding, or scrubbing, 5% assembly, and 5% fiddling to make wildly unrelated components work well together.
