just wondering what you guys are paying for your steel. 2x6x.25 tubing, .25 plate and things of that nature. just trying to compare to places around me.
I'm paying roughly $0.65 per lb from my local guy. A 48 foot long piece of 2x6x1/4 cost me like $300 last time if I remember correctly. I usually get larger drops (like 2 or 3 square ft) of 1/4"-1" plate for free if Im buying other stuff from him. Instead of buying from a steel supplier, try going to a local steel construction place and asking if the wanna get rid of extra metal.
anybody doing a group steel buy anytime soon?
inIf you can find some people that want 2x6, I could get an order together. Usually I need to order a full stick cause it has to be ordered. I usually get 48' and split it between 4 people. 12' is more then enough to do rockers on a XJ. If Ken wants a bunch to, it should work out.
