    You can pick that stuff up at Lowe's. 1/4" is probably a bit too thick, though.
    What if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today.

    ¼" aluminum would be crazy thick and very heavy for that area. It'd be pretty tough to bend w/o proper tools. I wouldn't go more than 1/10". Give the Metal Supermarket a call...think there's at least 3 around. The one I went to was on Pleasandale. We bought ½" mild steel plate I used to make turbo flanges w/.

    0.040" will probably serve you nice. McMaster-Carr is probably the easiest place to order from. Do you have access to a brake?

    Agent, there are a couple of books on aerodynamics you should probably read before you start doing that stuff. Or at least, do a bunch of internet research.
