Building the kit is not difficult is you have basic mechanical skills. There are LOTS of screws. I suggest laying out the parts and making a full inventory before starting.
Elecraft has used various torroidal main transformers. The one that came with my kit had almost zero clearance. I used temporary cardboard shims to center it before securing the hold down nut. One note of caution. Elecraft saved 10 cents or less by not using a boxed header for the PA module ribbon cable connector that interfaces with front panel module. It is very easy to fit this connector one row out of proper registration. I found it easier to see the connector if the front panel was rested on top of the case rather than as shown in the assembly manual.
