well - after these posts - I checked out e-bay and just picked up a pre-built set of SunRims for 103 from e-bay. the hubs have a little rust as do the rear nuts. the plus to me was the wheelset already has a freewheel and all I'll have to do is mount my new tires, put on a set of discs, and go.

Hope it wasn't a mistake and it works out!
Thanks for the replies. I will give wheel building a try soon.
