Get some fenders, and not too skinny ones. I'd go for something in the
45-55mm range (I have 42s over Jack Browns and wish I had gone wider).
Will improve the look with the skinny tires, and if you want to try a
wider tire later, you'll still have room.
Cheers, and have fun with the build,

Another strong fender recommendation here!
I just recently built up my 60cm Sam with 50mm wide SKS chromoplastics
and they cover 700x38 tires *very* well width-wise. They are not
terribly long but are plenty long if you are going to add mudflaps
anyway. My guess is the 45mm ones from RBW would do

you're in for a treat if you ever get around to trying grand bois or
pacenti 650b tires.
The sidepull brakes, in your case, will not be a limiting factor for
tire clearance. You should be able to do a 700x40 with a fender, and
probably 700x45 without fenders. Personally, I think the Planet Bike
Cascadia fenders are much nicer than the SKS fenders.
