You put another small piece on top (facing down) close to the opening, that way you can still pull them out  without  falling out.

Another reason for the angle is, #2 son always has some left over from different jobs. Probably if we were going to make a trip to the steel supplier and didn't have the extra angle we would buy channel.

Reverse flow plate in as well. Ran out of oxygen and welding rod. Guess I'm done for a Sunday afternoon

Should be able to get most of the stuff tomorrow. Keep getting interrupted lol. I'm starting to look at paint right now. Hate the thought of getting 100 fizz bomb cans and painting it like that, too big. What other options do I have? I see they have the quart cans, would that have to be thinned just like regular paint for a paint gun? Any thoughts?

You're going to hit an overpass with that thing.
