Jim85IROC: Plastic question

Where do you get the stock plastic that you use to make your custom parts for the console out of? Also, what do you use to cut it?

I cut up a stock console to get the plastic for the tv housing. For the flush-mount panels, I bought from flat stock ABS from the local car audio shop.

For cutting it I use whatever tools work best for the style of cutting I'm doing. Sometimes I score it with a razor and break it, other times I use a cut-off wheel on a dremel. In most cases I cut it large and file it to the final shape.
