He said "steel". :lmao:

just out of curiosity, what are you planning to do with it?

I have found .006-.007 aluminum and copper in small pieces probably 5x5 or so at my lhs.

id rather not say yet. and yes ive found aluminum that thin, but i need steel.

and i would prefer 35 gauge im not sure i could make the 30 gauge work for this application. probly too thick. the 35 gauge is about .007"

if you find a roofing company they should have some little square sheets of sheet metal. they are not too thick and pretty easy to work with.
i made armor panels and kicker panels out of them.

might still be too heavy for whatever you got up your sleeve!!!:twisted:
just an idea"thumbsup"

home depot roofing ,i bought some for like $10 bucks not sure the gauge though but i made some seats with it. 12"x10 ft.

I know, but that is about how thick and solid that gauge of steel is.;-)

AFAIK, most roofing supplied stuff (flashing) is between 20 and 25 gauge.

I have been looking into this for a way to make stamped body panels. Aluminum is all I have found thin enough. I think annealing some 30ga is what I will have to go with if I want steel.

the roof "flashing" i got are little squares about 6in by 6in, mabe a little bigger. i got a bunch left. i could try and figure out a way to send one in the mail....
i think you could easily heat it up and stamp out a body panel.

Try this. http://www.mcmaster.com/#steel-sheets/=ade5p2

Not sure what size but this is all .007 thick

EDIT: Link takes to main, here is what I found

These 4 products match your selections
Length Width Alloy Specifications Met
12" 8" 1010 Not Rated 9011K26 $11.21 per Pack of 5
100" 6" 1012 American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) 9500K21 9.87 Each
10' 12" 1012 American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) 9500K42 34.44 Each
15' 6" 1012 American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) 9500K74 17.53 Each

That is step flashing, you can buy packs of 100 pcs for like $5 at Lowes. I still have about 20 from the last pack I bought. It is galvanized so I would be careful with how you heat it so that you don't gas yourself with fumes.

i didnt even try heating it! it bends pretty easy. at least for what i did with it!
body panels may need some heat!

this mite be a little late but have you tried .007 shim stock comes in 6" 0r 12"width 100' long

Nice call "thumbsup"
