I'm not sure you'll find it in those sizes. The biggest I've seen 1/16th wall extrusion is about 1x1. M & K Metals on Western near Rosecrans might have them if they are available. They are also pretty reasonable price wise. We get much of our metal there.

For something as big as 2"x1" or 2"x2" you might want to consider bending sheet metal and riveting it together
