I used some. 040" sides on mine. They are very thin and just don't hold up.

Lol
Ryan that new supplier down the block from you is open I assume?
You check them out yet?
Other wise Pacemaker in Manchester gave me some good prices on DOM Tube figured I'd compare both prices.

Check the grade of the roof aluminum.  Stuff on 571 is way stronger than what we just got for the two cars.
