suggest that you replace one piece at a time, using the old one as a pattern.
it is surprising how thin the plywood was on the 1965s+ which had the gorgeous
flame grain mahogany laminate on teh 3/8" plywood.
don't damage your alum extrusions or lose your screws.
photograph everything first with a digital camera before you start taking stuff
apart. I would work on units as in the bathroom, mid line gaucho and
cabinets/closets, then the kitchen cabinets and over heads then teh front units
around the front gaucho, etc.
good luck and let us know your progress, do a photo gallery on the inet
somewhere so we can watch.
cheers
