where can i find steel at a decent price.. stuff like angle iron, square or rectangular steal, plate and what not..
I think there is a place off of 301, but not positive... when you find out let me know.

Check McCure, then Hurcules Steel. Google has their phone numbers.

hurcules?? i think they are just around the corner
McCune is off of 301. They are a little exspensive though. Hercules is pretty decent. If you are just looking for small pieces, just go into the office and ask if you can look at the drops and they will give you a great price at Hercules. I got a 9"x29"x3/8" piece of steel for $5. They also sell rectangle, angle, flat, and square. But if you are looking for DOM for roll cages you will have to go to McCune. Last I checked Hercules did not carry any, but it wouldnt help to ask if you go.

looking to build sliders for my zj right now... maybe more if the price is right
You should be able to find everything you need at Hercules minus the DOM. I live in Hope Mills and drive to Hercules unless I have to go to McCune.

I hear there are a couple MJ'ers that don't mind grabbing a sawsall and 4" angle grinder and hacking on other people's rigs!! (Providing you provide the proper amount of beer.....)

I suck at giving directions, but I'll give it a shot. I'm not sure where you're coming from, but I'll assume you're coming from Fayetteville.
Take Raeford Rd towards Raeford. Go past the Raeford Rd Walmart and Food Lion at Cliffdale, keep going a couple miles and you will pass Lindsey Rd on the left and Wayside rd on the right. about 1/2 mile past that is Paraclete skydiving windtower on your right. approx 1/2 mile past that, on the left is a blue/orange double trailer daycare place. I forget the name of the road tho. Turn LEFT off of Raeford Rd and go approx a mile and you'll see Get Ugly on the right side. It's actually easier to find than it is to write.

I talked to him yesterday and he said they should be there Saturday, I was going to go out there and do some stuff on my Jeep Saturday, but now looks like I might be helping a guy move......
John, next time you go out there let me know. If it's on one of my days off I'd like to tag along just to see the place and shoot the shit.

You could just be committed to MJ's like the rest of us.
I AM! when I'm at work. I just switched back to day shift today, so I'm all f'd up. It's bad when you're less than 2 hours into a 12 hour shift and tired as shit already.

Matt, any time you want to go, let me know. I have no life after 1700 or so, and Tank and Gina usually there till 1800 or later.
Oh, one thing I keep forgetting to let everyone know is that Get Ugly doesn't take plastic. The CC card companies charge them like 4% and being a small shop, that can add up. BUT...there is a CashPoints fee-free ATM down the road.....
I don't have any money to get anything done right now, so I was just going to tag along with someone else to check it out. It's good they don't take plastic though. I could get into trouble if I took mine in there. :D

I can't make it out there tonight, but will probably be running over tomorrow afternoon, or Sat morning will be out there doing a bit of wrenching...
I work today and tomorrow and have my son's b-day party on Saturday. Earliest I could get out there would be Wed-Thurs next week.

cool, just let me know and we'll run out there. In fact, there is a small bar out in the woods about 1/4 mile from the shop, might as well stop by there for a beer while we're in the area. LOL
sounds like a plan to me. Maybe we should hold our monthly MJ'ers meet and greet there. You know.... when we collect all the dues and talk about club stuff
