OK, I'm back and with good news. I got it shifting and pretty much adjusted while on my trainer.

The FD cable had to be way tighter than i thought. In fact i could not seem to pull it tight enough. So, I put chain on small front ring and big cog at the back end and set the derailleur clearance to like less than .5 mm. I noticed that when i hooked up the cable the derailleur seem to adjust itself out of position (thinking it wasn't fully seated on screw, so i worked it back and forth a bit to settle it in). Anyhow, got the thing set to 0.5 mm or less as described. Then miraculously it shifted to the big ring in 3 clicks, no muss, no fuss. Not really any trim here, but i'll need to finish the build and get it around the loop in my neighbor hood. The derailleur was to far over on the big ring, but a bit of cable tension fiddling seemed to take care of it, no rubbing while spinning on my trainer.

My Campag 10 speed FD seems way better than this bad boy, but time will tell.

The 11 cogs at the back shift fine after a bit of cable tension twiddling.

Photo's of build coming once i get it, ughm , more built!

Thanks for all the help with this project.
