    Anybody out there know where I can get some cold rolledc steel in west Texas. My local metal yard said they can order it at 100 bucks a sheet!:eek: Is this a normal price for 4x8 cold rolled 18 gauge?

    Some industrial and ag fab shop will sell steel and often have remnants to sell.

    if you are looking for stuff they don't ordinarily stock, you will pay full freight for one piece. steel service centers usually order by the truckload to keep freight price down per pound.
     
  6. Can you get it from the steel place in Ballinger?
