Default 19g AKDQ and .065 3003 H14

For the metal shaping event, I'll be picking up some steel and aluminum. I can also pick up extra sheets for those of you that would like some.

Most antique car bodies are 19g. AK = Aluminum Killed. DQ = Drawing Quality. It's softer and easier to form that the typical sheet that you'd find at your steel suppliers. I've checked many sources, but the only place I can find this sheet is from Modesto Steel, a 3 hour drive each way. I can pick up extra 4' x 10' sheets for $65 each.

I'm also going to be picking up some .065" 3003 H14 aluminum. This is the favored alloy for metal shaping. The price will be $80 per 4'x10' sheet.

Tell me how many you'd like, and I'll have them here at the event to pick up.
