Building an FAL

My wife just told me (after I told her we would buy a china cabinet) that I can start aquiring the parts to build an FAL .308. I'm not intending to use a parts kit, or much of one. I was wondering if any of you have had experience with the following components.I'm wanting to build it as a match grade rifle, and want it to be light weight as well. Corrosion resistance is also a plus. I'm looking at the Williams Arms aluminum upper receiver coupled with the DSA aluminum lower receiver. Will plan on going with the DSA stainless heavy barrel with intregal brake.Anyone had any real experience with the Williams FAL aluminum receiver? I know, there are a bunch of you who don't care for the aluminum idea, but the AR10 uses an aluminum receiver, it can't be that bad. Beside, realistically, I won't be running thousands and thousands of rounds through it.Any other advice from anyone who has built an FAL? Any other parts to give special consideration?
