[QUOTE="bhumbertson, post: 299345, member: 9940"] Thank you and my goal was not to short cut anything. On to the answers... 1. I got the foam at Lowes and it comes in a pack of 6 sheets, had to cut some off the ends but a perfect fit width wise. I think they are meant for in the attic near the roof. 2. I did a internet search and found the local exotic wood dealer (really cool stuff btw, wood from all over the world) that happened to carry it. https://www.exoticlumberinc.com/plywood.php 3. It will have a stainless piano hinge that will be attached to the aluminum square tube and the upper lid. (I'll be sure to post pics on final assembly) 4. Well I tried and used several methods. Aircraft stripper, terrible idea... It was messy and probably took 6 months off my life (brain damage). I also ruined a drill with a wire wheel attached, works well around rivets and in the hard to get spots. The best was the orbital sander with 80 grit sand paper. Thanks for the questions and the interest. [/QUOTE]
