The panels still all need cleaning up and some refurbishing. They all need to be pressure tested. They also need some way to hang the glass on them. I really haven't decided how I'm going to do this. Perhaps I'll ask around and see what solutions are out there for fastening to thin aluminum sheet.

Now that its going to be a pressurized system I'm not sure how I'll connect the panels. Rubber hose would have been great and it might still work. I'm not sure what kind of pressure I should be running in the system.
