Bought a Mig Welder!! Where is a good place to buy some sheet metal to practice on in Orange County, CA? I went to home depot and they only had 22 gauge and 16 gauge. I am looking for 18 and 20 gauge. Something similar to our cars.

If you go to real steel supplier, ask to look through their "drops" pile. These are the leftover bits from when they cut pieces to custom sizes. They are typically sold by the pound and significantly cheaper.
