I might have a go, but if I'm building one, then I want to do it from
scratch. Build the neck, fret board, body, etc. I'm obviously going to need
special tools to drill a hole for the truss rod, probably a router to cut
into the body, and various planes to get the contours right. I'm a fan on
the strat shape so that's what I'd likely build. I've seen some templates
you can buy on the net. Maybe...one day.
