I've completed this build and no issues. I'm pleasantly surprised. The voltages are all lower along all the pre-amp as compared to my prior build (HRM/Skyline) which from what I've read is normal. The PI is in the 250's-260's which I had to look up and apparently seems right. I'll let it burn-in before tweaking but so far it's monstrous sounding, I got and old Fender 100watt Twin PT that never got used (unclipped cloth wires) and an Angela instruments Tone Master OT. So far so good as far as the sounds I'm hearing. Thanks to everyone for their input and in particular to Funk for giving us one last run at his chassis.
I'll post picts when done w/ burn-in and wire tidying.
