I'm glad to see your diving in on a project. As others have said, one piece at a time...before you know it you'll have enough pieces completed to make it a driver...
and that drive will become addictive!
But, that is a good thing. There is no substitute for knowledge and experience gained by one's own hands. Keep us posted on your progress. There are plenty of folks who have been there before to calm your fears and guide your progress.
