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 got scrap 2x6 and I think it was still ~$60? roughly ten feet I think.
 
I bought 14 feet of 2x3 quarter wall box tubing down at the place in southbridge on 169 for $80 or so last week. Paid 50 or so for 19 inches of 7" wide 1" plate a few months ago at the same place. I don't recall most of my other prices I've paid there, but they were comparable to sullivan over in worcester and a hell of a lot more convenient for 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.
 
the guy local to me down in southbridge quoted me 350 for 24' of 2x6x.25 wall. i thought that was still a little high. the other place around here wont be open again till after the new year so i guess ill find out then. RHINO!!!
 
got a 6' piece of 1/8 wall 2x5 for $74 tonight, and 5ft of 1x1 1/8 wall box, 5 " of 2x2 3/16 wall and a foot piece of female reciver tube for another 30

I guess your the man i have to talk to about getting some steel then.
 
I could be convinced. I'm going to need probably 40-50 feet of some sort of quarter wall tube soon. Not sure if it will be 2x4, 3x4, 3x6, 3x5 or what but I will be getting a lot.

edit: and a frame table, if anyone has one they will sell me or let me borrow for a few months
 
anybody doing a group steel buy anytime soon?

If 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.
 
What, no angle iron bumper?! :bs:
 
I need 2x2 but that's about it. I think I have a steel place right up the street from my dad's shop though.
