im trying to buy metal to build my bumpers/ rockers/ roofrack
im trying to find some 2x4 (3/16-1/4in thick) square tubing for bumpers
some 1/4-1/2 in plates for mounts
2x6 square for rockers and some 1-1.25 in dom tubing for roofrack/stinger
im having no luck finding any tubing for my projects. and the scrap yards around me no longer sell their metal. if anyone has some extra or know where to buy some let me know.
thanks

 

Make friends with a local welding/fabrication shop and order your steel through them when they place a bulk order.

I get my steel through my work like this, I just wait for the welding shop to place a order, I order what I need with it and have it deducted from my paycheck

 

Man I'm in the same boat lol. I'm in Greensboro and thinking about making a bumper but its not looking good. Nothing on Craigslist really either ugh.

 

there is one welding shop that i know if around me and they only work with sheet metal. and i think hes closing shop soon.how much do you pay for yours? you order i pay and come pick up? depending on price of course.

 

We have a bunch of steel mills in Greensboro and Winston that u can get as much square and Dom/HRew tubing u need.

Wow I did not know that. What is the pricing at these places? Is it expensive for like a couple feet of tubing?

 

wow thanks man. do you know about how much they run?

 

Honestly fellows I'm not sure that site provides the sizes u need w addresses and phone numbers I assume $3-8 foot depending on what u go with.

 

For used metal, check out DH Griffin in Greensboro. For new stuff, Colfax Trailer Repair in Colfax, NC.

 

Thanks Arty, I was just going to buy some sq. stock from a place I used to buy from in Atlanta. Save me a trip, to bad my welders in Atl
