I am in the procees of a panel upgrade and need to purchase some aluminum sheet. I need a 2' x 4' sheet of 2024T3 - .19 thickness. Any suggestions on a good place to purchase?

Wow! I didn't realize sheet was that high...
About a year ago I bought a 4'x12' roll of .040 2024T3 Alclad from another builder in Dallas for $300. I knew I got a decent price on it at the time, just didn't realize HOW decent...
Does it HAVE to be 2024? For panel inserts you could use 6061-T6, which might be easier to find locally. Either way, check your local metal supply house (or local stamping/fabricating/etc. shop). They will usually whack you off a chunk or two (spare).
For my panel re-do, I used the old panel to make the subframe and used 6061 inserts.
