A brand new KMAC kit from kbdmod.co.kr or originative will include everything you need except switches, Cherry PCB-mount stabilisers, keycaps and a mini-usb cable. You just need to assemble/solder it and put keycaps on.

Awesome, thanks for the help! I am under the impression that the winkeyless layout requires a 7x spacebar, where would I find stabilizers for this?

Yes, that's correct. The best way to get a bunch of Cherry PCB mount stabilisers including a 7unit wire is to take them from a winkeyless Cherry G80 board. Or you could try the classifieds. In total you will need :

4x : Cherry PCB mount stabilisers with 2unit wires
1x : Cherry PCB mount stabiliser with 7unit wire

You may also want to get some LEDs as well, though they are optional.
