Keith - do not buy from Rose.  They are the highest place in town.  When they run out of something they buy from other steel shops and still mark it up they do the same thing with their fabrication.  I have had other laser/waterjet/plasma guys in town tell me that they are working on stuff for Rose all the time.  I buy from Ozark Mountain but I am not sure that they would have black.

I got a decent price on 3/16" sheet metal from Falcon Steel on Eastgate in NE Springfield a few years back.  If you're still in school and know the shop teacher well, you might be able to buy through the school and get a better price.  Especially since you want a complete sheet with no cuts.

I called them yesterday and got quoted 230+tax for 1/4" black 4x8 sheet.

I wonder if i couldnt go 3/16 so save cost but still have it support seats and crap.

did i ever tell you i love you :beerchug:  i have done some research on diamond plate and 1/8" will work for what we are doing not 1/4 like dad thought (i was right on the size :agree: )    for a 1/8" 4x8 sheet of black its 98.38. I didnt mention you because i have no idea how to pronounce Geoff :confused:  But yeah so that beats all other deals right now by 40$. I dunno how much they take off for you but 98$ aint bad

they carry my tubing for me, and i like them.  they never make me buy tons of stuff. if i need rollcage tubing i tell them how much im looking for and they stock it for me.  they always have a nice supply of .120 walled hrew for stuff and dom when i need it.

im glad they were cheaper for you

Well I have had my metal for a while but now I have my racing seats and 5 point harnesses so I need to cut this mofo. I need to cut a 22x42 rectangle and a 7x16 rectangle and a 24 x 28 or so rectangle with an arch for my engine skid.

its 1/8" steel diamond plate

I have no band saw and no torch so what do you recommend? Anybody here with a plasma?

i have a couple metal cutting blades that will fit a metal saw, you can have but youll have to come get them.  might be cheaper to just run to walmart and grab them.  they work decent if you dont go to fast.
