Mono block amp rebuild - 1570Bs

Hi all, wanted to share a recent project I'm finally turning the corner on. A bit bragadocious, I get it....and a lot of photos. Sorry!

I've spent quite some time learning, studying, measuring, collecting, learning, buying parts, sand blasting, buying, powder coating, learning, and leaning on a member here in this forum (he knows who he is, and can chime in if he wants - very grateful for his mentorship).

I am pretty stoked to have finished one amp, and onto the other soon! Posting a few pics for others if they get a project similar.

Pretty excited with how this one turned out. Now, to start the second one soon. Well, and I haven't sent any electricity through this one yet! Testing first....

Anyways, thanks for reading!
