Put false doors, just as a decoration. Problem solved? :p

Putting doors on it would add a certain flair too the design, but I like your idea of the fold up canopy. So, why not have the best of both worlds :p?

Yea if I go through the trouble of adding false door I might as well make them functional lol

Nah, if you have a router, just take a piece of plywood and route the edges of it and attach a handle (no hinges). It's simple, easy, and takes like 5 minutes depending on how crazy you want the bevel to be lol.

I'll most likely end up having it swing up and with doors in the front will see what happens once I start building

Well I just had enough time this weekend to make a trip to Lowes and get some wood to get me started on the stand and canopy.
I couldn't get anything else since my car isn't too big and I couldn't use my moms expedition because she wasn't home.
I also got me a new toy lol make things easier on me lol

Well I managed to do the frame for the stand and canopy. Here are some pictures for those that like pictures lol. I didn't take very detailed pictures of the building process of the stand and canopy since almost everyone knows the basics on how to build one and there are millions of pictures out there showing how so enjoy.
All the the wood for the stand cut
Wood for canopy
Drilled some holes to not crack the wood lol
More pics
All done. Well the frame
Canopy
Making sure everything fits lol
That's it for today!

My car was hit in that back parked at Walmart and a month after some rear ended the car stopped at a red light so I decided to get that sticker lol haven't had any more issues lol.

Another update. I just put the front panel of the canopy and cut the holes for the doors and painted the back glass of the tank.
I left the portion of the glass where the overflow box is so that if I ever have to look back there for whatever reason I can see in there.

Looking nice, Killz is a pretty decent primer too. Now, stop being lazy and finish! Anticipation is killing me! :p

Trust me I want it to be finished already too but I just work on it whenever I get some free time. Tomorrow I'm off but I gotta take my car to get new tires, rotors and brake pads so there goes my morning and probably part of the afternoon depending on how long they take.
