Thank you. Yes, I will keep you updated with photos. Just waiting on the Powder Coater now.

But What insulation is best to use? Anybody have experience with this area?

[Slapshot42]

Use an "unfaced insulation they usually come in a few different widths.  I think last time I bought some it was R31.  If it's too thick you can thin it out a little.  Wear gloves, mask, and a long sleeve shirt.

Picked up some insulation from Home Depot.. - Thank you Slapshot42

Got my gaskets and other parts.

I have some broken parts, I will post a wanted Ad in the other section

I'd rethink your insulation option..
You have R30 which is great if you have up to 9" openings... non compressed.. as soon as you compress insulation the "R" factor goes down and it's less productive...
so your spending money on something that really won't deliver as your openings between cabinet and shell is only about 3-4 inches..
Youd be fine with a R-19 which will compress a bit yes, but a lot cheaper I'd guess and deliver the same result.

Thank you, that is why I ask questions here. I'll see if I can exchange it.

Also what adhesive to use on the small door gasket?

Powder Coating is back. Turned out great! A little darker than I wanted but it will work.
