Just FYI:  I used the cheap 1/4" Luan on all the door panels and side paneling. 
 The 4 x 8 sheets work fine on that. It's available from HD.

For the ceiling, you definately need the 5' x 5' 1/8" BB for flexibility... I 
even soaked it to get it to flex.  I found mine in Austin at a place called 
"Fine Hardwoods"

Good luck!
