Scrap yard that sells
 
Anyone know of any scrap yards that sell close to Brandon/South Shore? Looking for assorted stuff for prototype projects.

If you are looking for a junkyard.....now called "recyclers", I go to LKQ/causeway and US41
to obtain car parts to carefully measure and modify.

If you are looking for a source of scrap metal instead, let me know.

Scrap sheetmetal, rod, tubes, bars and such.

I haven't walked the LKQ U-pick-it yard in a couple of years. Found a few X1/9's in there for spare parts. I need to go back there soon.

I used to go to a place Tampa Scrap metal in Ybor city.
I want to say it was on 7th Avenue or Broadway.
They may have moved the entrance, but it was near a set of railroad tracks as I was driving east from Ybor city.

They may have become more sophisticated by now, but the people were
friendly, loaned you a hard hat, escorted you around the yard once they knew what you were looking for.
Used to have no minimum order.

What are you building? Any pictures?

My car usually needs things fabricated these days. I used to measure things from other
cars and adapt them to my car. I have probably heard all the "that will never fit" BS that the 17 year olds
used to post on here.

Some people can only do bolt-on mods, and some of us are blessed with
being able to build things.
