Metal in RVA

[BacklashXJ]

so i'm in the market for a metric assload of metal. I need to build two crossmembers, a belly pan, rear bumper, tube fenders for all four corners, seat rails and a center console, coilover towers, front and rear 4-links, mounts, and some other stuff... plus metal for other projects on other jeeps...

the question is - anybody know of any metal place that sells scrap of box steel and tube for cheep? or maybe even a place that sells decent priced steel?

obviously i'm looking for a hook-up from somebody so either help me out or flame away :flipoff:

thanks all.

Have you ever checked with BMG Metals?

I've always bought scrap or partial pieces of stuff from them. They've got piles of stuff laying around, and as long as you will take a scrap piece that they don't have to cut, you can get some really good prices. (Edit: they will cut stuff for you , it just raises the price ALOT)

I've even bought a 4x4 piece of (not sure??) maybe 3/16"? steel long enough to make a new rear bumper for an RV that they called scrap. Nothing at all wrong with it, just left over from another order they had.

Plus the employees have always been real helpful.

Maybe not the direct "hook-up" you need, but if all else fails, maybe they can help you. Good luck and let us know if you find a better source!
