Alright, we have 2 issues. We want to build a cool amp from parts, and we want one that will really do justice to the music we love. Find the best fit for both.
I play a lot of vintage stuff including Surf, Rockabilly, a little jazz, and 60s rock. Any early Fender or Supro amp circuit will cover that stuff well but I would insist on one with a nice spring reverb circuit. Reverb is a pretty important part of guitar tone from that era so find a Deluxe Reverb/Princeton Reverb circuit and include a full length spring reverb tank in your build. I recommend a 12" speaker in a larger cabinet for the widest choices and options.
You could do a separate Fender Reverb unit instead but I don't think they sound as good as the amps with them designed in.
