Default Help needed

Hi guys how are you all?

Ok so I'm ready to start my build and hit a snag already been pricing my metal for the chassis and its going to cost nearly 300 delivered from my local metal suppliers is this correct? I have seen guys on here paying less then 100!!
Just think they are trying to rip me off already!

Thanks justin

Where in the world are you? People might be able to suggest an alternative source.

I asked for 25 x 25 erw 6100 in length 19 x 19 erw 6100 length and that was it £28 a length then £50 to deliver cos they won't cut it well I say they won't they will for £25!

I also asked for shs to see if that was cheaper it would of been 2mm wall but that worked out more expensive!

You can get a pre cut chassis pack for less than that. Pm phil at Talon, I am sure he can sort you out, and it saves a load of haste cutting all of those angles !

I got all my steel from IS&G Steel Stockholders, can't remember exactly how much but it came in under £100. I had to drive over there with my hacksaw and cut the 6m lengths in half, then straped the lot on the roof.

They have a branch in Ipswich, about 54 miles from Great Yarmouth.
