You could start with your post for the Bushmaster Lower, by answering the questions there.

Also check the feedback forum. You should find your name on the first page.

I did all my work on my SA GI with a TM 9-1005-211-34, its got some good info on understanding how everything works together. For a completely custom build I would recommend some of the books written by a guy named Kunehausen (spelling?), he wrote some excellent resources on building 1911's and other guns.
