I've still got some metal work to do and may try to anodize this myself. I'm also going to add some wood side panels. The hard part will be picking the color for the case and the type of wood to use on the sides.

That looks great! Your point to point wiring is excellent, I would love to try that on an amp someday. I think wood would look great, I think it looks great on almost any tube amp, so good luck with that. I wish my woodworking skills were better. It would be even better if I had somewhere other than my spare bedroom in my apartment to do my DIY projects... I wonder what the downstairs neighbors think when I fire up the black and decker drill, or the ones across from me think when I solder with the windows open...
