This must be my week

[CarGuy]

Just got home. Time to clean the case and move it in. As the guy told me, its missing the shelves. I'm thinking plexi should be good enough. Thoughts?

Go with glass especially if you have a friend in the business. Plexiglas scratches and while you can buff them why bother when you have a hook-up.
I am curious to see what you can get a set of glass shelves for, from my experience glass cut to specs ain't cheap. You can get the M10 screws (IIRC) for the shelf support pegs at Home Depot or Lowes.

I think when I built my case I paid 8-10$ per shelf for tempered glass, 1/4" thick. Could be wrong tho, but that's what jumps out when I think back

Plexi glass will sag over time or once to much weight is applied. Real glass is how the shelves come from the manufacture and they will hold up much better. If you can get real glass that's your best bet. About a quarter inch thick.

the display looks good . . . and the OTT is sweeeeeet.

hopefully you will get the plexiglas soon.

I'm hearing a lot of the same thing about the plexi. My buddy says tempered glass 1/4 inch is the way to go. He should be cutting it for me tomorrow.

Nice pick up. Thought you got that doomsday ott lol.

Hahaha that thing will be there for a while I bet.
