Default Sheet aluminum on Long Island?

Any of you Long Island guys know where I can buy sheet aluminum for the engine bay, trunk, and the underside of the hood of my desperately in need of help new car? I may need to build a new transmission tunnel as well - not sure yet. Thanks!
Doug

I would try a manufacturing company that makes rest room stalls. They may be able to sell you some. or go to a truck body mfg. IE RW Trucks. Check the local yellow pages for sheet metal fabrication companies. My engine bay is outfitted with aluminum. It was a factory option when the car was built ..CCX3-3417

If you wouldn't mind I'd love to take a look at it one day to see how it was done. At your convenience, of course. I'm right in West Islip, about a 10 minute drive or so.

After much time on computer searches, visiting locals like Home Depot, I turned to (gasp) Yellow Pages and found a small guy under "sheet metal". A 12X12 sheet of 1/16" and an aluminum piano hinge was 10% of a big box price for this item. Custom cut as well!

These guys have most anything you could want. The down side is that it's all real live aircraft quality stuff with a price match, but what the heck, if you can afford a Cobra.....They may even ship to Long Island
