Norton metals inc located at 820 & hwy 156 near saginaw is a good place for metal. 1800 669-7883. I dont know of any out standing spot for consumables

Norton's pretty good, I like to use Metal Supermarkets for small quantities. They don't make me buy full sticks when I don't need them. They're at 820 &287

For consumables, I just use Airgas, or Tri Gas, there should be one over off of Blue Mound Rd or Mark IV Parkway if I remember right.

Thanks guys. I appreciate all the help. Here is my recent progress on tear down and sand blasting. You can see that it has cancer and 3 layers of paint with an array of primer mixed in. I have been blasting, chemical stripping, and sanding by hand to get through it all. I just bought a welder, so the fun is really about to start.

If you're interested, I believe that there is a chemical dipper in south Arlington.

Looking good. Yup, the fun's about to begin for sure...

Chemical stripping would be SO much easier, but I am cheaper unfortunately. Thanks for the suggestions guys. I was able to blast more last night. It is going slow, but it is good to see progress. Does anybody have suggestions on the best floor pans? I was looking at WH and JBG and it looked like WH had bigger edges to go up the tunnel. Is it better to have a lap and weld spots or have the edges meet and weld the seam? I am a novice welder by the way.
