Race car Tubing
Does anyone know where I can buy 1-5/8 x .134 mild steel tubing at. I have a project that needs about 60ft of it to complete and I am having a hard time getting some. I have found one supplier but they want about $14 per foot, I can buy CM for that. Any suggestions would be grateful.
Thanks Brandon.

The chassis shop phone # 1 800 530 9494 is the least expensive I have found for all my tubing. They have been historically economical for shipping charges if cut 10' long and sent truck in a round tube. They are open 9.00 AM to 5.00 PM eastern std time. I recommend giving them a call prior to purchasing from another. They can tell you the cost for shipping before you purchase. My catalog shows if you purchase 3 to 4 full lengths which are between 19' and 21' per is $6.36 per foot plus shipping.
If you can use chromoly 1.5/8" .083 wall then it is only $3.00 per foot for the same 3 to 4 full length quantity. Mild steel is more expensive with thicker wall.
