Default My diy canopy

Thought I would share my diy canopy with everyone. I decided to put an aluminum canopy on my tank as opposed to the wood one that is there. I was inspired by BMW Rider's canopy and since I work in an aluminum fab shop, it was the logical thing to do. I used .125 aluminum and broke it in a similar fashion to BMW's. Since it was aluminum I decided to just polish the inside and use it as it's own reflector. This is how she sits right now after the last coat of paint. I will add the fans and lights tomorrow after the paint has dried overnight.
