Aluminum Sheet?

[NDTOO]

I am to the point where I am going to order some alum. to start making the skins and cowl for my Starduster. I see the main suppliers offer the material, .025 thick etc., in 4 foot wide material. Most of my belly and side skins will end up being between 2 and 3 feet wide and seems like I will end up with a fair bit of waste.


Is this just how it works out or is there other size material that is available that will work better?


Don't want to order a bunch of material and end up with allot of waste if there are other options I'm not aware of. Thanks, Bob
