[Amps] Aluminum alloys for panels?

[Danny Ray Boyer]

Go by your local sheet metal shop and ask them if they have any sheet 
aluminum.  If they don't have it, they can certainly get it.

I go down the street to one of the shops several times a month and have 
them shear off the size of aluminum panels that I need.  They can pull 
and shear it in a matter of minutes.  In my opinion, not worth trying to 
order it and cut it yourself.

Our local sheet metal shop keeps a sheet or two of different thickness 
of aluminum on their shelf.

By the way, your local sheet metal shop can order sheet aluminum from 
their supplier with plastic on one or both sides. 

No scratches when they hand it to you.   After you drill the panel for 
you project, simply pull off the plastic coating and it looks like new.
