Got a trailer I want to deck it with. 6' x 14'.

Is this stuff sold as scrap in large plate sections?

Just roll out to a grounded barge in Barataria and cut a section out myself?

What say the OT?

Aluminum and Stainless in NOLA and Laffy. They're in the somewhat hood here, but no real issue. This place will blow your mind. Good luck.

Aluminum and stainless building is interesting. When you enter the warehouse you’ll notice on the ceiling a square pattern of ceramic light bulb holders. The place was a boxing arena back in the day. Bleachers lined the wooden walls. Probably 1940’s or so. I once emailed peter Finney to find out but was never answered. Any info ?

No info at all, an aging buddy asked me to take care of something there in the 70's. Almost broke my neck, but I regress.
I can easily see it as a venue way back then, will have to play around with it some.
Thx.

Wait til you see this bitchin' beach wagon I'm gonna build.

Might throw some diamond plate on there just to slick it off.

There is an Ace hardware store on Downman road that's probably the best mom and pop in the city. They have steel plate and diamond plate.

Update:

What’s the consensus on steel plate vs redecking with wood and coating it with the polymer bed liner paint?

Wondering if steel would add too much unnecessary weight.

Or, is there a hard plastic like those bed liners that I can find in 6 x 14?
