Does anyone know of a supplier for aluminum skin in salt lake. Also what gauge is appropriate?
Thanks,
Brent :D

Try these guys:

Utah, USA
Copper and Brass Sales Division
Salt Lake City
2035 South Milestone Drive
Suite 9
Salt Lake City, UT 84104
Telephone: 801-975-8400
Fax: 801-975-8419

There is a huge price break at 100#. So, buying 5 5X12 sheets was actually less expensive than buying 4 sheets. .040 inches is a common thickness for skinning a teardrop and 5052 is a common alloy.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Gus

Try calling some of the semi-trailer repair shops. I just called on my usual supplier today and got a price of 12.40 a running foot on 103" .040 material. Doug

I just picked up some aluminum from the place in salt lake mentioned in this thread. They were super helpful and easy to work with.
