Online Retailer for Sheet Metal?
Any good recommendations outside of Amazon? I'm looking for cold rolled 18 gauge and it's not as easy to find as I thought...

Home Depot has a fair selection

Kinda expensive though.
Try local fab shops as well, they might have remnants they'll let go for cheap

Not many fab shops to choose from around here and the ones I did try were more than hd.
But if you want longer pieces, yes.

yeah HD did not have what I needed in terms of size (18 gauge). All good though, I called a local shop today I am going to do down to and check out their options...

Wire feed will be easier to control...but both can work, IF you know what you're doing. Flux core and arc burn hot, easy to blow through the material. Personally I would use a true MIG setup with a 75/25 gas.

I don't know about Durango, but down in Mancus or Cortez there are metal supply shops.
