Check out this thread: http://novajeepers.com/index.php?nam...ewtopic&t=7382

I've bought steel from Arlinton Iron Works in Manassas several times. I've bought square tube from them, but I know they have round also. I know they have HREW, but not sure about DOM.

Try McMaster-Carr online they have just about everything you need for fab work. And I belive the place my company in Gaithersburg,MD gets our stock from is called Misc. Metals.

right, but i have a website (have to dig up the address somewhere) that sells DOM, cromo, whatever, any kind of steel you can think of, and will custom cut it for you for free up to 60 inches long. So, if you only need pieces that are less than 5 feet long, then you are set, but if you need more, i wont bother looking up the address.

The site is http://www.allmetalsinc.com

Looks like they are shut down through august 1, but after that, check out the site, i have used them and they are great. Fast shipping, and you can get your stuff sized exactly how you want it, so when you get it in the mail, its ready to go, don't even have to cut it.

that search is for the whole Baltimore, Wash, NOVA area. when you put in just NOVA you still only get those listings.

The place my company buys all of our stock from is called Mac steel http://www.macsteelusa.com/locations.asp (formally Edgcomb Metals), they are only located in York, PA and Charlottesville, VA. Look them up and find out how much it is for them to deliver.

Sorry it seems like I'm the only one that is trying to help and not getting you any where.
