This https://www.trackofthewolf.com/Categories/PartDetail.aspx/304/1/PLAN-VIRGINIA is the one turns my crank up high, but it appears a bit thick (deep) in the forend.

That's the one I got Daryl, son and I poured over it the other day. Thanks!

I wouldn't shy away from a Lehigh. The first rifle I built was an Andrew Verner with a side opening patchbox. Echoing an earlier suggestion, do not hesitate to make the rifle thinner than you think. Most first attempts I have seen tend to be too bulky.
