Welcome to the Phorum!! Since your query is mostly about cabinet work, Ron (the site owner) may move this thread to the Cabinet Restoration section. I haven't worked on a 42-380 so can't give you specifics to your questions but a search of the Phorum using "42-380" brings up a number of threads that may help you and folks who have worked on one will surely respond as well.

Posting pictures can help make your questions clearer and the instructions for posting pictures are found here: http://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=29

A good thing to do as you dismantle a radio chassis and its cabinet is to take photos as you go along. This gives you a chance to look at how it was put together originally, plus you'll want some "before" and "after" pics later.
Cheers,
Bob
