There was a question here about availability of 4130 sheet. Be aware that steel prices are completely out of control at the moment, in all areas of the market. Not to go out and scare anyone, but if you're in the process of putting together a list of materials for your project and you're anywhere close to getting it finished, I'd suggest ordering your materials (steel stock) right now. Commercial vendors are only honoring price quotes on steel for max of 5 days, so it's a very volatile market right now. Steel has increased in price about 40% over the last 90 days.Or you could avoid the panic, sit back and think about it, and let this "crisis" pass like they all seem to! That would be the Pietenpol "low and slow" style, eh?Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 19 Mar 2004 19:30:59 -0800
