2024 price

[Over59]

4x8 Sheets of 2024 Alcad for $250. Great price from the welder who will be doing the frame work. Is it always stamped? If not how do I know what it is. He seems OK but the price just seems to good.

Ooooh. I thought he was trying to predict what it was going to cost 20 years from now. Shows you how far along in the restoration I am.

250 would be 7.81 sq/ft. Which looked like a good deal. Now that I look closer I see the airpartsinc site price is running foot 4 feet wide. SOooooooo Well that's what the forum is for after all. Cheaper the have it shipped and get the right stuff for sure for sure.
Thanks guys
When they roll it for shipping how much of a set does it take?

None - 2024 will roll out flat. 5051 is another story - it will hold a roll a bit

Have you looked into www.metalsupermarkets.com? I found out about them from the forum, walked into my local dealer and they gave me a really good quote on 2024 for the interior of our 345. Seemed willing to work with me on a "hobby project" as well. Check the site for a local branch and call them. Might save some money and eliminate the shipping costs.
