welcome, bluze81. You'll find that folks here are friendly and helpful.
The TW's that use EL84's are the Rocket and the Liverpool. Take a look at the schematics and layouts in the "Trainwreck Files" forum.
Creiatone makes a chassis, as well as a kit, for the Liverpool:

You can find a really good blank chassis here:

As well as boards:

I hope these links can get you started in the right direction. Everyone is here to learn and help, so don't be afraid to ask questions. Be sure to utilize the 'search' function, too -- there's a goldmine of info to be found in the archives.
