Here you can see the cover. It is a single piece constructed entirely of 1/2" plywood. The individual pieces were cut precisely and then glued with wood glue and nailed with a trim nailer. There is no frame, just plywood glued and nailed together.
The cover was built so that it would fit down snugly over the inset 2x2s framing the floor piece. The cover can be fastened to the floor with 4 screws, but in the future I may use pins or latches to make removing the cover easier (there is no door on the top, so the entire cover needs to be removed to fill the gas tank).
You will also notice another previously used exhaust hole on the back which is now closed up (again, more on that later).
