Mentally tallying what it's cost you to get it this far, I think you should treat yourself to this NOS pair of Chater Lea Sprints.
As others have probably more tactfully suggested, this is a build thread for you to document (and us to drool over) so pics are appreciated :)

^ what 7ven said. pictures please.

Might it be that you are going to acquire all parts before attempting to fit them all together?
If so then that might when the build pics occur.

All I know is whenever dealing with old bikes there are always a few unexpected lessons leant so please keep us updated!

Basically we all think this is cool. We just can't wait for updates like a small child who can't wait for Christmas. It's totally up to you to decide how and what you document, people do it in loads of different ways and ultimately the way you choose to document it is probably indicative of how it's actually come to be!
