Made this over the weekend with my brother. (Video Credit to Elliot Tower)
Should be sick to film with next season. It was much cheaper than any manufactured Slider and works nicely. Thought some fellow NSers might want to see my brother's DIY Slider.

Looks like an easy, quality build. I think it may be even better if you had the side panels extend lower and rather than having your bearings that run along the edge, place them so that the run along the underside of the board directly beneath the top bearings. Then you can slide it onto the board at the end, cap it and it is solid against the track.

I'll post footage soon. It took two weekends b/c I had school and was busy, probably like a total of 3-5 hours though. Not including time spent buying parts.

@Jponce thanks for the idea +K!
