looking for 18-20 gauge sheet metal in the cincy ohio area???

[rebstew]

does anyone know of a company close to Cincy Oh that sells sheet metal 2 x 4 foot or 4 x 8 sheets.18 , 20 ,or 22 gauge

I think home depot and lowe's do. Hella expensive for the small sheets though. Get a junkyard hood for cheap/free and use that.

home depot doesn't carry anything that size and lowes only carry's 22 gauge which i would use but all the store in a 20 mile radius have been out of stock.i need clean weldable steel not worth the time to strip a hood to make it work

I use one of these and it takes it right off with no pressure, $6 at autozone.

Yea it weighs around 1,800 lbs i think... I have been riding around w/o a hood or a front license plate for atleast 6 months and havent run into the cops at all... *knocks on wood* Body is 16 and 18 gauge. If i still have it when the camaro is done or to a good point of completion im going to start re-shaping the body and make it look better :bigthumb:
