Today I made some progress with the hood and the LED build. First I had The Grizz weld together my heatsinks into one sturdy unit with 1 inch spacing between.



Some coke zero for size reference. The strips along the top are to hold the pocket door wheels that I am installing.



Heatsinks installed into the hood frame using pocket door kit:




I am using this pocket door kit so that I can slide the whole light backwards for access into the tank when needed and slide the whole system out for maintenance.

Finally starting to sheet the hood. Back will be sheeted and the sides will be flaps that open upwards.
