GEt them all, sell at a salvage center, and use the money for more CBG supplies.

Good idea, but I only saved four.  The rest are gone in the trash.

Take some 2x4 to make a frame and screw one on top and one on the bottom and you got yourself a box.

Another idea would be to make a File Plate (like a License Plate) build.  Make a box that is that size and just screw one of the plates on top for a resonator build. 

If they are think enough you could cut them to a smaller size, or score the inside and bend them into a box form.

I won't say the possibilities are endless, but you have a few ideas so far...

I concur with Brian - make a box out of it. But my mad scientist brain is envisioning a bass like instrument

Grab some rebar, a cheap cake pan and make a steel slide guitar... use those pieces for the lid/soundboard... weld it all together into a heavy metal guitar...

If you want a metal box, get some aluminum angle and pop rivet the box together... leave the back for last after you finish the guitar...
