I have built a few 3 and 4 pc rods with no problem but I have never done a 5pc. Are there any pit falls I should watch out for with guide spacing. It will be a 3wt 8'6".

No real problems with 5pc other than you might have to adjust a guide or two because of falling on ferules. What I usually do is if it falls right below a ferule I'll normally move it an inch up onto the ferule for strength reasons. Other than that you shouldn't have any issues.
“If you say that getting the money is the most important thing, you'll spend your life completely wasting your time. You'll be doing things you don't like doing in order to go on living, that is to go on doing things you don't like doing, which is stupid. Better to have a short life, doing what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way." - Alan Watts
