Default Where to buy an aluminum sheet

I wanna work on a little project and need some aluminum sheets around 35x45 inches in size. Trouble is I'm having problems finding a sheet that size. If anyone has an idea where I can find a sheet of that size it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm in the dc metro area if it matters.

You can get then in the size of 8ft long by 4 ft across at u hvac supply house. Try calling a place called lyon conklin or an RE micheals in ur area. One sheet will prob cost close to 30 or so bucks.. that's what we pay but we buy in bulk.

I have no idea what thickness I would need. I need to read up some more on sizing/thickness. But the guy said it was 53 bux for 8x4 ft but he didnt specify a gauge b/c I had no idea what I wanted.

if you can't find it any where close, Mcmaster.com has great deals on a lot of metal and basically everything else under the sun.
