Yes my wife and I are opening a donut shop in Christiansburg sometime in January.

We'll be located at 1225 West Main Street (across from the Citgo gas station/delimart). It is on the right heading out of Christiansburg to I-81 in between Jack's Garage (the one with the biblical quotes) and M&M Tire. We'll have over 35 types of cake and yeast donuts and Mill Mt coffee. I'll bring some to the next meeting after we open.

Brian,
Post up the itemized list of what you want. I need to order a fair bit of material too. They only deliver to commercial or industrial addresses, and since I don't have my shop anymore I was planning on having it delivered to the dock at my job.

Anyone else who is in need of steel, post up you itemized needs. I'll call next week for prices.

I need some also. Some plate and also tube. The plate could be upwards of 400 lbs. Alec do you have a way to unload plate and reload it onto a trailer? I am sure it could be man handled but dont want to stick one person with an unload of a lot of steel.

I will use a forktruck to load it up on my trailer at work. Unloading will just have to have to be me and you and your kids haha

umm depends on what exactly you want... if you do a very basic design you could probably get away with a stick which is approx. 20' maybe a little more maybe a little less. But to be on the safe side I would probably order at least 2 then you can just use the extra elsewhere.

Also do you mean the style corner guard that wraps around your whole corner of the jeep? or just trying to protect the bottom of the corner? your going to have a very hard time forming a piece to the whole corner and as much as it sucks you prob just have to buy a premade one.

Bending a sheet would be a PITA. There's a couple companies that have prebent corner guards with tail light cut outs. Some of them do only fit with a couple styles of flare, so you'll need to find some that fit stock flares, or buy new ones.

I have quite a few things if you think we can get them unloaded and into my trailer. I can run to Roanoke to get the plate if need be. But dont think I can get the round tube from Roanoke, at least not at a decent price.

Need about 200' of the cheapest 1-1/2 round tube. Thinking 1-1/2 .065 wall HREW

1 stick of 1-3/4 .120 wall HREW

2x2 .120 square 2 sticks

1/8 X 4 X 8 cold rolled plate

1/4 X 4 X 8 Cold Rolled plate
