Another warm welcome to you John.
I think you'll find us a friendly bunch all eager to help and share our Sportster building experience.
I see from your biography you are a mining expert, so you'll enjoy working on the pedal box in the drivers foot-well!!
I see you got all the essential books with the chassis so lots to read. I know its a long way away but you'll need the donor cars V5 when it comes to registration, so try and get it if it is available and look after it in safe place. I collected my chassis at Easter 2004 so I guess it's the same vintage as yours. Since then Marlin has upgraded the wing stays and lower front wishbones so it might be worth checking if you have the latest version. (Patrick has the recall notices in his FAQ section on his website)

Just fire away with any questions and I'm sure you'll get lots of answers!

Enjoy your build!!
