Some companies that sell kits like Elecraft and k1el.com have lists of hams 
on their sites who, for a small fee, will put those kits together for you. 
Possibly, if you write to those hams themselves, they may be willing to help 
you. Anyway, it would be a good place to start. Good luck. Lou WA3MIX
