Obviously you've looked into this more than I have, but it's hard to believe that you can't find someone who either has it, or can get it next day.

We have a reasonably large, but not enormous metal supplier near us we buy from. They have almost anything in stock for next day delivery.

Anything that's not completely oddball they can get within 24-48 hrs from Southern California or AZ.

Does there really not exist any supplier like that in VA? 1x2x.063 is not at all a niche product.
