Very, very, very, nice job, thanks for showing your work..
I like the room inside to work on it..
The workmanship is commercial grade, what is your profession?
Did yiu say you've laced it, if so how about a pix?
The only thing that I see that I would do if I were building it is I would
swap the tone and volume as I like the volume right next to the tuning knob.
Where does one get an eddystone dial these days and how much?

I had posted this elsewhere, and it has created some interesting feedback.
Based on Wes W7ZOI's Preogressive RX from the late 1980's. A wonderfully
balanced design to which I added some bells and whistles I like in a
receiver.
These are some shots of my almost finished 1980's theme HF receiver.
All stainless hardware, teflon wiring. Rock stable VFO, homebrew xtal
filters ( 5/2/5/0.5), selectable and defeatable AGC, notch filter, tone
control, QSK input,built in front end BP filters for each band,
preselector,
AM/USB/LSB/CW.
Enjoy:

Hi Hank,

There are a few things I would do differently too- unfortunately, that front
panel has too many hours in it ( for me at least) to change. I learn on each
one.
I found the Eddystone on EBay and looking for another for the matching TX.
My professon is EE, but have a full machine shop and just enough knowledge
to use the mill and lathe.
