I have 1 place here in Detroit for ALL my tubing, moly
or mild(all they deal in is tubing... any shape) but
would be too costly to ship for you... call your local
steel outlets and ask

For a chassis I wouldnt buy 8' lengths... I bought it
in varing lengths between 20' to 24' but it mostly
came in 24'.... but if you get it shipped it cost
pretty big for over size lengths which would REALLY
add to the price.... you almost have to look local
and pick it up yourself.......JMO

I agree about buying local if you can but when you need a few pieces they can supply it with out any hassel.
I just had two 1&5/8, two 1inch, one 3/4, and four 1/2inch pieces sent and shipping was about fifty bux.
You will have less scrap if you get the 24'sticks though. I got ten sticks when I first started my project from R&R chassis in Louisville but he does not keep moly in stock, he orders as needed.

I see your in Houston. Give LMR (Late Model Racecraft) a call. They do all the chassis and suspension work for my school's cars.

20' for $80 thats a good price. I won't compete with that. If he can sell that to everybody for that price let me know and i will pass that price on to the people here. Thanks Brian W.

Well that price is through our work so we may get some sort of discount...

Kevin Bickerstaff is doing the cage. He did my Challenger several years ago.

When i did my chrome moly frame for the puller i ordered everything from this website.

http://shapirosupply.com/

It was half the price ordering there and having it shipped to me. I couldn't believe the cost that any local place gave me for it.

Not sure about price but i bought it in 20 foot lengths. Although i used ALOT more then what you are going to use
