Default Where to buy 4130 CM tubing??

I know of a few places online to buy chromolly tubing (ART, Chassis Shop, etc.) but I am just curious where you guys buy your tubing at. I know of one place local to me here in Ashland, Ky that has a small amount of 1 5/8" (140 ft) that is less than an hour from me for $5.75/ft. I want to get it in full lengths which eliminates having it shipped in and still keeping this economical as far as I have been able to tell. Any suggestions?

I'm ready to start on a new chassis already!

If I need alot, I usually buy cut-to-length pieces from a local chassis shop...unfortunately he's about an hour away

When I've been lazy, I've ordered 8ft sections from aircraftspruce.

Where you located Fireball?

I was going to go through Chassis Shop but I hate to get it all cut to 8' sections because I know that there would be a ton more wasted that way...

If you buy over $2200 Chassis shop is free freight... at least it was last time for me.

chassis shop is going to have the best price/service.
if you dont need anything over 8', they can ship ups ground.
anything over 8 is truck freight!
