Im getting ready to make some ghettofabulous rock sliders but Im having trouble tracking down the metal I need anyone know of a good supplier? I also need someone who is comfortable welding to the uniframe and will work for beer and pizza ( or other food of choice), I have access to a welder and a shop if needed and ill supply food and alchoholic beverage .... My normal welder doesnt feel comfortable welding heavy steel to the uniframe so Im askin for a hand.

I do a lot of welding on the side and I have an account with a local guy in waynesboro very cheap prices, let me know what you need and I can fix you up. I normally get 1/4" material, and don't pay anywhere near what those people quoted you. Last week I got 9' of 1/4" 2x4, 2' of 1x3 bar and some 1/4" plate for $89 ;D

Oh, I forgot to mention, all of that was cut to length. He will cut it to what lengths you need for no additional cost. It is cheaper to buy full lengths though (24').
