Just finishing up the last little details on my car and a couple other projects and need some sheet aluminum. I can't find a listing for a sheet metal supplier for the aluminum I need to finish- the supplier I used before isn't listed any more?
Anyone know a place where I can buy a partial sheet of 6061 or 5052 or scraps someplace that fabs aluminum? I would be open to splitting the cost on a sheet also if somebody else has a project in mind. You could probably even use my metal brakes and shear.
Looking for .063 or .080. in a minimum of 3-4 pieces 24" x 36".
Thanks,
Bob

This is the source I use, and has been cited by others as well. Good prices and outstanding service. Will be ordering more this week for the PS footbox mod on my Mk4 build.

I was kind of hoping to find it in town so I could save the shipping. If I have to pay shipping it would be cheaper to just go over to Metal Supermarket. I usually got it at a wholesale supplier, but I'm not sure they are in business any more as they aren't listed in the directory any more....

Thanks all. I still can't figure out why these didn't show up in my searches.

Also, Alaskan Copper and Brass is SE, Porltand. They have a surplus area where they sell "drops" and such. You never know what is going to be available till you go look.
