Well, I found some left over coroplast, that I forgot I had, from my previous grill block that didn't go so great. Made a video of the grill block closing by mounting a webcam to my license plate. The video is not very good quality because I don't have a very good webcam, but it works well enough. It is a little better if you click on the gear near the bottom right of the video and increase the quality to 480p, after starting the video.
I was not able to record the slides re-opening because the camera kept lagging and freezing up. The slides do open back to where they started in the same way that they closed.
I am very satisfied with how this grill block turned out and I intend to paint it black and keep it on year-round. The only thing left to do other than painting is to add a bit of weight to the back side of the slides, so that it closes a little later. I will be aiming for the slides to close completely at 40 MPH
