Look in the yellow pages under "steel"... that will be a start.
You can also look for heating/air conditioning or metal fabrication.

I've had lots of car builders visit my sheet metal workshop over the years. I found it quite interesting and would offer my expertise to them on how to to this or do that. They would pay for any metal used, so it was a win, win situation.
