One question about your stand, is there doors to access the inside of the stand? Maybe I missed it I am good at that lol.

If you have not completely skinned the stand you may want to think about adding 2x4's on the end of the stand that are sandwiched between the top and bottom. They will support the weight much better than relying on the screws to hold.

Yes for my frame I used 2x2 and 1x3 then I will skin the whole thing in 1/4" oak. Once I start building the hood for my 400g I think I am going to make a frame out of aluminum then undercoat it. In the past on large hoods over saltwater I have seen them warp from high humidity. So make sure you have it vented very well.
