Hello all,

As i have settled into my new home here in Austin,TX I am looking forward to getting started redoing the cabinets in my '66 Safari. A friend of mine owns his own small construction company and i have "stolen" an idea of his as part of my reburbishing of my trailer. I am wanting to totally redo my cabinets as they have been damaged beyound repair. (well not really, i just want to make them look neat) I am rebuilding the cabintes to the same size and and all that but i am using thick pine plywood, and staing them a nice deep almost cherry red. but heres the fun part. I want to do the doors of the cabintes with just the frame and a thick piece of plexiglass behind it. Then surronding the glass on the frame i want to cut strips of 1 in wide aluminum slats and scrw them to the frame of the door to "outline" the glass with the metal. then some stylish handles and some well placed strong magnets will be used to keep them shut. This way The cabinets will Almost like china cabintes but be sturdy enough to resist the beatings that they take while on the road, AND ill be able to "see" inside them without having to open them.

Let me know what you think! ill try and mabey get some sketches up soon.
