Well, the block is almost done. I've been slowly making progress here and there when I have some time. I'm still thinking it'll probably need some reinforcement. The coroplast is strong enough vertically, but horizontally it bends and that tends to bind up the hinges and L arm. I'll probably use some sheet aluminum to strengthen it. However, with it being fairly rigidly bolted to the grill, I'm unsure if this will be necessary.
