Pics look very good.

Suggestion, cover the wires that are laying in the drive way with a 
shield.  Aluminum foil wrap the wires then connected to earth ground 
it is easy and it works great.  If one of those wires takes a direct 
hit from one of those 11 ft streamers it will fry something.   Maybe 
that is what happened to the Maxwell Capacitor.   Be sure to have a 
strike rail on the primary coil and protect every thing with a 
shield.   I lost a cooling fan motor then a capacitor once from a streamer.
