1st build questions,1164 lamiglas

Awhile back I found an 1164 lami, I figured it would make a nice pencil popping rod and would be a good first build for me since it needed some guides replaced. I found Dale Clemens book "advanced custom rod building" through my local library, I have it on hold.
My questions are what kind of guides should I use, I'll most likely have it paired up with my 704 and 20lbs fireline?
Would cutting about a foot off the butt ruin the action?
Anyone know of any rod building classes in connecticut during the winter months?Thanks
