Raleigh Super Course

Alright guys I'm curious I'm considering a purchase of Raleigh Super Course Frame. Forgive my bluntness, but I'm not asking for opinions on whether steel lugged frames are worth building up, just weather it can be done with this particular frame set.

My intention is to build a Steel Lugged Frame race bike. So I want to know is it possible to upgrade this bike to a modern Campy 9 speed groupo, 700c wheel set, a carbon fork etc, modern headset, etc. If this helps the seller says this frame has 124cm rear spacing.

I checked Sheldon Browns sight and he says the Super Course is a very worthwhile frame for upgrading however he said nothing about specific possible upgrades.

Input from those who have done what I'm talking about with vintage steel frames would be greatly appreciated.

Opinions specific to the Super Course frame for my vintage race bike frame application are welcome.
