Excellent pics bud.
I see you went with axial electrolytic caps. I usually do also, but I sometimes struggle with that, wondering if radial electrolytics might have been a better choice in some given instance. I somehow ended up with radials in my last project (Motorola 51x17), and it worked out well...no extentions needed. I guess it depends on the particular points having to be reached.
