Anyway I am going to build one out of stainless steel. I feel that I can pop rivet the pieces together. Has anyone done this, any ideas would be great.

The cardboard one is very flimsy.

I don't think you need to use stainless unless you just want to, considering the real one's made of paper and worked OK.

But in reality the carboard is plenty strong for a "glove" box.. What you carrying in there anyways that the cardboard can't handle?  | | |
