That's great news then Ray!

One of my clients works at a manufacuturing plant that builds all kinds of stuff from steel and aluminium. He was in my office one day, so I asked him if he could get me scraps. He said he could. so I showed him what thickness I was looking for (2.5-4mm) and that I preferred 7075. So yesterday he walks into my office, hands me an 8"x48" sheet, and left! I was with a client, so I didn't get to ask him what kind it was. Plus, I didn't want to appear to be ungrateful.

So, is there any way of knowing? It's as thick as a stock Losi chassis. It has a shiney, dull mirror or almost chrome look to it, and the entire sheet has some flex, but is pretty stiff. I bet that smaller pieces would be nearly unbendable. How lucky is that?!

Advice?
