Anyone got gut shots for this build? I would like to see how the e-caps are mounted...Thanks.

I've never seen an actual Hoffman Plexi 50. But there are plenty of gut shots of the real 1987 Plexi as well as copy cat clones. Most have two of the cap cans in line with the tubes and behind the PT. The third can is mounted over near the preamp end of the board. Many people use individual caps for the two preamp filters and either put them on the board or in a convenient location near the preamp.

Kinda all depends on the chassis layout you choose.
