I am new in the area and i am looking for a place that sells metal tubing. I am wanting to fabricate some strut bars.

chromoly, steel, aluminum? what kind...

for a strut bar, I'm assuming you want chromoly...

Any machine shop will sell u the stuff...

also, go to http://yp.yahoo.com/ type in metal and you'll find places near you...

FYI: If you plan of fabricating something, but don't know where to get stuff in the first place, you shouldn't be making stuff..

Could be dangerous.. hehe

I am looking for titianium. I called some of the shops around, but with zero luck. And i do not want to buy any strut bars. They are fun to make some wicked designs
