 Hi Ray,
We have a couple of those types of stores, but the prices are quite high.  About $5 per foot.  Looking for a much better price if possible.

 Rich,

Check Google to see if you have an 'Industrial Metals' store in your area.
I know they are in So. Cal. And in Phoenix. They carry almost all sizes of
aluminum tubing made.
