Post by: Stingray on February 11, 2004, 08:54:56 am: Those are the first cab plans I've seen that make sense to me. I think even a carpentry challenged dummy like me could build a cab from those. well maybe not me. Wood kind of perplexes me. I actually considered building an entire cab out of steel, but then common sense got ahold of me when I realised I'd need a forklift to get it in the house. I ended up converting an old cab instead.
