Finally I can post a full build, I still have one that I must have killed and another that I need to add a switch to.
BUT here is the one I built last night. Took me only 2 hours but I have plenty of practice from the "other" builds. I plugged it in and it worked first time without any issues. Sounds great. The last Mayo I built that I still cannot add a switch to has some volume issues where I have to turn it at least 50% to get any sound.
here are some pictures:

Looks great!
Love the color, did you buy the enclosure or paint it yourself?
I bought it, seafoam green from mammoth electronics. I am so happy with this. I bought 2 more mudbunnies just now lol.
Hah! I just bought a seafoam green enclosure from them! It looks better than I had hoped.
Good to see you didn't give up mate, looks killer too, all the best, Matt.
I know, and I just got that Rams Head going tonight. For some reason one of the pads didn't connect right, luckily I was able to bypass that pad and connect the cap right to the volume lug.

Strange. There should be a direct small trace connecting the C13 left hole to lug 3 volume.
If you soldered and removed components several times you may have lifted a pad or destroyed the small trace in the circuit board? Either way, it works now so good job!
It ended up where I had contact on the top of the board but not the bottom. So I put a socket in and soldered the top of the board and that did the trick.
Sadly I had 2 - 1/4 mono jacks that had stripped nuts. (last time I pick lowest cost on ebay) So I have to wait for my order to box this badboy up.
