I'm not in the same area, but would be interested in any off the wall
ideas you get. I've found it at sign stores in Texas before, but you
have to find the right sign store because many aren't willing to sell
out their raw material. 4x8 sheets of the 4mm? thick stuff (political
signs) typically ran between $15 and $40, with the actual cost being
less than that. If you have a TAP Plastics local they might be able to
source it.
The new hurricane shutter material that's being used for Habitat For
Humanity houses down here in FL is a really thick (5/8 inch?) corrugated
plastic material that's lightweight, not wood, and easy to store for
long periods. This would be a bit overkill for anything but an airline
box (and arguably underkill for a serious shutter), but still useful.
Don't forget to reference Ben's design:

Make sure any box you make looks at least as good as this one:

Chicago area... Lowes, Home Depot, or Menards?
Have too many planes, need to build some storage boxes.
