Let me save you some time and just tell you to stop looking at Poplar.  If you were at Lowes pricing tools, you don't have the tools needed to build a cab from solid Poplar.  At a minimum, you would need a joiner and planer, about six 4 foot bar clamps, and some experience doing a glue up (a six foot board is not easy).  I give you credit for picking the right wood though, Poplar is the right choice for a solid wood that you are going to paint.  It's just not practical unless can glue up panels in your sleep.

Most diy sheds over here sell pre laminated sheets of poplar...

After I realised that I'd need a forklift to move it, I changed my mind and just bought an old cab and converted it.

I do apologize for the necro  :dunno.  I didn't even notice the date until that little warning came up... but who reads those things anyway.  I do now.  As for holding up, I had a stargate refurb that I reglued and stapled in 2004 that help up great until I moved to Germany in 2008 and the movers didn't crate it right.  It was in pieces.  Aparantly those things don't like being dropped.
