    Questions for rear draws gin a gu

    Hey fellas I am putting some draws in the back of my car was just wondering if I could use standard ply for the draws to keep the costs down as much s I can.

    I used 12 mm structual ply on my drawers that I made up but that's only because i had 2 sheets sitting here at home so I can't see why you can't as I've seen drawers systems made out of MDF sheets

    I might go for the structural ply as it is only $10 more per sheet but the marine ply is almost double the structural ply price.
