[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8867903, member: 689267"] Yes, 1.125" is 3/8" thicker. In a box like yours, it's too heavy unless you can reconfigure it and don't mind the extra 100+ pounds it will weigh. It's as much or more cost wise as the 13 ply birch too. I rarely use it (birch ply) though, unless it is specifically asked for by the owner of the vehicle it is going into, as other than weight, no difference. MDF is easier to work with, sets up nicely, doesn't splinter or split, takes to bondo and paint fantastically, just a few reasons most builders use it outside the cost factor. Evan if the cost was the same, I'd still use MDF unless doing a kerf. [/QUOTE]
