Nice!  Hardest thing about a bench is keeping it from acspoogeulating  on top of it, lol.  I had a friend make me a bench some years ago (still used) that included a power strip in the front, a vise on one end, and side extensions.  I told him I wanted it sturdy enough to rebuild a transmission on it.  I think I could fit 3 on there, lol.  One bonus is an adjustable moving light off the back.

I know what your saying about the junk acspoogeulating,I am hoping most of the junk will end up on the bottom shelves.

I already have a bench grinder and a drill press that is going on top and I will be looking for a 4 or 5 inch vice (that is a must).

I will be painting the backboard ford blue and hope to paint a big T-Bird symbol up towards the top

Looks great!  My two benches are highly magnetized...they even attract my wife's craft junk!  Maybe I should follow your lead but paint snakes on the walls.  She'll never go in there again.
