Plugin/Process recommendation for user editable product list?

I have a WooCommerce site that sells cabinet fronts, sides, drawers, and handles. I need to create a front end form that a customer can use to:

1. Configure a list of products (for example 1 front color red, 1 front color blue, 2 handles, etc), adding, setting options, etc.
2. List should be able to be saved per customer(user) and edited upon return/login of that customer.
3. Ideally once finalized list should then be able to be placed in cart/checkout and purchased.

So I am trying to figure out the best way to do this. Here are my questions:

1. Is there a plugin out there that can handle this already? (I have not found one and I have searched extensively)
2. Do I need to create my own CPT and front end form? If so, should I store the data until I am ready and then programmatically add the items to checkout using the WC hooks?
3. Is there some other approach or hybrid I have not considered?

I should add that I can think of a number of ways to accomplish this via custom programming, but I am asking for advice for the best approach to reduce the amount of time I need to spend, and not reinvent the wheel.
