I got this as a rusty double walled flammable cabinet out of the Want Ads for $50. I tore down my oven and reused everything. I also ordered another bake element 2600watts, so I am running 2 2600 and 1 3100 watt elements off the stock therm/contactor. The only thing I had to change was crimp on a spade 10/12ga connector and run 12ga wire from the contactor to where all the elements tie in. I bought a motor and a fan at an electrical supply outlet and made that work, it was hi-temp rated so that worked out well. I used r-13 insulation and heating duct fiberboard on the front doors, attaching it with stove&fiberglass caulk from ace. I also bought a pint of furnace cement and filled all seams. I used 600degree black rtv to seal where the temp probe comes in, in case I need to remove it. I bought furnace gasket by the foot at ace hardware to seal the doors and sealed with gasket cement. The hang bar came in already. The fan is crucial. Without it I had a long wait for 400 now it takes about 20 mins. and it will do 550.( I went inside and played Counter Strike and lost track of time.). I used self tapping sheet metal screws and double ended bits and a 1/4 hex driver and really like the results. Unlike rivets you can just screw them out. For wiring I just disconnected all I didn't need and used the schematics here(basically just hooking the elements together.) I have been reading like crazy here while building this and appreciate all the help people give. Just wanted to give some back. Hope this helps someone.
