What are you building the cabinet out of? I've been looking into building a
lightweight removable cabinet out of extruded aluminum "angle iron" (for
the frame) and Aluminum Composite Panelling like those guys did with that
syncro featured here
<http://vanagon.com/info/vehicles/lightweight_syncro_16.html> , but I can't
find any suppliers for the ACP who sell it by less than the truckload...
For that matter, what is the regular Westy cabinetry made out of?
