Will, what brand are your cabs? I have always liked the look of aluminum cabs, but the price they want for what is essentially a little welded square tubing and aluminum facing is ridiculous. Yours look fabulous.

Mine were actually made in house at ATC, who made my trailer. You can see more about the trailer and the interiors at
this link .
I'm sure knowing MXtras work that his trailer is an exception to the generalization I made about wood in race trailers. But my experience is that most all the wooden cabs in race trailers I've been in (and I've seen plenty) have not looked very good over the long term. Perhaps that's a reflection on the effort made to maintain them, or maybe there are other reasons. But that's my experience, FWIW.
There are several manufacturers like moduline and C-tech, who make good trailer cabs. There are others that don't look like much, at least to my eyes.
Finally, as you mentioned, you can always just fab them up yourself. The sheet looks pretty thin, most of it is easy-to-work alu angle, and you can buy nice hardware. I've never seen this done, but I'm sure there are people on this board who could do a good job of it given the time and money. If I were starting over, I would consider just making my own if I were willing to trade the time for money.
I know I like mine, and I use my trailer a lot. Make sure you get shelves, and measure them to make sure you can store your small stuff in totes, etc. If you have a lot of small stuff like many cans of oil, you might consider the over-the-wheelwells cabinets- very thin, but lots of shelves.
Good luck!
