I might have some in WV. How soon do you need it? I'll be up there on Feb 20th w/ Caleb and the gang, so I could hand it off to him if you can wait that long.

Let me know.

Sounds good. I'll check when I'm up there.

I might not have a piece a full 18" wide, would two smaller pieces work?

After taking some correct measurements and not just guessing I actually need a 20" x 38" piece and it has to be a single piece. Probably have to order it or find an alternative

I really don't remember how big my scrap piece is. It's whatever's left from making the flat bed.

I'll check.

BTW, what's it for?

Its for my sunroof. I need something I can bend to the shape of the sunroof frame and it would be nice to have something that will not break again. Given the price of aluminum I may need an alternative.

I've definitely got flat aluminum in that size, and I should have 16ga or 1/8" steel in that size too.

Bieng diamond plate is not a requirement. It needs to be just thick enough to hold its shape once bent. 1/8" seems like it would work well. Steel could be an option but it would be heavier and need to be painted.
