Can't comment on 2 and 3 but there are specialty metal supply stores in LA and OC.

Industrial metal supply in Burbank comes to mind. They also have a shop in Irvine if that's closer to you.

Thread necro - Going to be tackling this soon.

Axmea, could you take some shots of how the #10 screws are holding up? Trying to figure out whether I want to use screws or countershrunk rivets.

Thanks!

That looks good but I'm looking to apply to my varis front lip similar to the OP

The screws are holding up really well. I'd make it with less screws the next time around.

I made one for my Stillen front out of... I don't know what it's actually called, but some plastic, it's REALLY strong, but slippery at the same time

What'd you use to cut/shape the plastic?

Band saw. I made it 3 piece so I can replace the parts that wear first
