I would recommend you get some training in layout procedures and tools. It sounds like that is not one of your current skill sets.
Find your local EAA chapter and get a member to go over it with you (there is one at KDMW), or take a basic sheet metal class at your local tech school, or go to one of the RV building tech centers for their class.
I found in my standard build kit, there was much more layout required than Yellowjacket has alluded to. It is true that the elevator and rudder stiffeners have starter notches but there are plenty of brackets in the plane that need to be fabricated from scratch.
Nice avatar choice by the way.
