looks really good
you have probably thought of this already but it would make life easy if you leave one side open until the internal work is nearly done.

Good idea ! Plus makes dropping the engine and box in so much easier !

Yes, I would love to, but it's not going to happen, I'm afraid
All "dirty" work needs to be done before the sandblasting and welding whole side on is a really dirty job. Nothing I would like to do with the engine in.
It would be perhaps possible on the riveted carrier, but can't imagine it one the welded one.
