Hiyas,
I'll start this off by saying thanks to everyone for the cab building tips so far. I have absolutely NO skill with woodworking yet, and lurking here has given me a wealth of information that I'll be keeping in mind now that I've begun work on my own cab (Based on UAII design).
The question I have today is laminate. I bought 5/8" MDF, and plan on using 3/4" T-Molding. I assume that means that in order to keep the molding flush with the sides, a 1/16" thickness was needed for the laminate (I'll be laminating both sides of the side panels
). I visited www.formica.com and took a look at their product but the only Grade available in 1/16" is "Grade 43". By the description on the website, it doesn't sound like what other people have used on their cabs. Here's a description from the site:
Grade 43 (HCS, Nominal Thickness .062" (1.6mm))
ColorCore surfacing material in polished finish for vertical or light duty horizontal interior applications. Solid color throughout; eliminates the "dark line" of standard laminates. Available in 909 Black and 949 White only. Available only for Polished finish ColorCore

Why not just go to home depot and see what they mostly have for grab?
I used their regular black laminate and it looks good.
