If you are in the midwest near Wichita you can find all sorts of aluminum items at a place called the "Yard Store". Wichita is an aircraft manufacturing city and the yard store buys all sorts of aluminum including sheet aluminum. I just bought .040 roof skin for my 5x10 from them and the sheet was 80"x120" and it cost me $104. Other sheet metal places here were 1 1/2 times to twice as expensive. Much of the items at this place is factory seconds and they pick them up in bulk quantities. The sheet that I purchased was pristine. I doubt they'd ship so you'd have to be near here to deal with them. Happy trails, Dan
