Local metal suppliers. There's 3 in my small city (150,000 people).  Do you not have metal suppliers in your area?

Steal it from a laundromat.   Bust in there guns blazin' and take you a few machines to have your way with.

If there's no aluminum to be had you atleast have heaps of change to buy some with.......

Washing machines, driers, and stop signs aren't aluminum.

Stop signs and road signs in general in Canada are.

Seriously?  Because they are galvanized here.  I'm surprised your indigenous meth heads don't steal them.

They are here in MO as well from what I can tell.  It must be some backwoods Appalachian tradition to make them out of galvanized steel.

We are finally wiring the garage this weekend, once it is done I will snag a local sign and do a Fab thread with it.
