DOM Tubing supply?

Ok so I will wager that 2Many has the answer to my quesiton, but any one who knows feel free to shout it out!

Where in the DC/MD/VA area can I get DOM tubing for my door bars? 1.50x.120 is what I need -- I really dont need much either so if any of you guys have some extra lengths please let me know. If I end up getting any extra I will most likely do the petty bar and the firewall supports -- Anyone have any suggestions/reviews on these 3 bars?

Thanks!

Look to pay near or over $4 per foot for 1.5x.120 DOM...

I like the petty bar. It can help especially in a rollover or flip where you come down hard on the top front of the windshield.

Both of my cars that have been in pretty substantial front collisions -- one at 105mph - had absolutely no intrusion into the driver's compartment partially helped by the fact that I had firewall supports. I won't race a car without them. Make sure they are perpendicular to the a-pillar bar and have as large a backer plate as possible (100 square inches by the GCR). Make sure the plate is multi-angled and if possible, extend it toward the transmission tunnel. This will help since on the driver's side it will rest right behind your feet.

I may have some 1.5x.120 sitting around. What lengths do you need? What car are you building -- 240,260,280? What is the minimum weight. I think you can use the 1.5x0.95 if you want.

You know, if I can get my car built and 2Many gets his back together maybe we can have a 'Classic Zcar Club' road race for bragging rights...

I am building a 76 280. I will add up what the lengths are I need...

I appreciate it.

We should defintely have a ClassicZcars race... Have you run at Summit before? OH -- BTW HM, I really dig your war wagon -- did you fab that or was it an acquisition?
