anyone know of a place local to everett that sells sheet metal scraps? i'm gonna need a couple 1'x2' sized scraps. thanks in advance.

 

did you try everett steel? (i think) it's by the train station. can't remember

 

I am a tin knocker by trade, Cleaned out the job site today and tossed out a bunch of miscellaneous metal. What gauge are you looking for. Home depot sells 2x4 quarter sheets in the sheet metal hvac section, It prett thin stuff thougth like 28 or 29 guage.
Hope that helps.

 

thanks fellas, i'll check those out. i need it to make a couple custom radiator mounts for the rx-7.

 

yeah i have a sheet of the home depot stuff..... it is to thin for a radiator mount... or well i wouldnt used it

 

Maybe go to the scrapyard. they will sell it to you for cheap.

 

Go to your local Hvac place that makes Ducts. Then go dumpster diving, you will find massive amount....

 

cpt_gloval - You can definitely find something at Everett Steel, but you might just stop by and visit my friend Roy Fletcher at RFR welding in north Lynnwood. He is located on the west side of Hwy99, top of the hill just south of the big Safeway, and just behind AtoZ tire, tell him Ben sent you. He is a good guy to know if you need any welding done, and he has a shop full of scrap materials.

I am designing a radiator mount myself - Roy built the radiator for me. You might want to read about it here:

Another source for small material pieces is Sean O'Brien, who is building my Stiletto project at his shop in South Everett. He is located near the north end of a row of buildings two rows back from the MacDonalds on Everett Mall way, north of the storage facility. But don't distract him too much - he is supposed to be concentrating on the Stiletto!!

If you go armed with some photos, either of these guys can give you some good ideas.
