Best place to get metal?

ZRotheohv · 03-17-06, 02:19 PM

I need some random metal stock to do some customizing but I don't know where to look. Stopped by Home Depot but there's really nothing there but really small stuff. Where do you guys recommend for steel for small projects? Right now I'm trying to make a spacer to replace my catalytic converter since the PTO gearbox doesn't fit in there with a cat. Thanks!

I would recommend Glaser Steel for new. They are located on 30th street south of Hwy 24. Western Steel has a scrap yard out back if you can find what you need there, it is pretty cheap.

Glaser is good too, more of a local sort of place.
