Metal, keep it or scrap it

Have about 12 pieces of galvanized sheet metal duct (rectangular).

up with 30" x 60" ± pieces. *Do I keep them for unforeseen projects or
do I spend the gasoline to take them to the scrap yard.
I do own an English wheel and a 3-in-1 metal machine. *Don't need a
bunch of little boxes but making them would elevate my skills. *Also
plan on someday putting 'fins' on my 1995 el-cheepo Toyota Tercel.
One day I would like to build a side car for my vintage motorcycle.
Wife says toss it. *I'm ambivalent. *I do have the storage space, but,
at the same time, when it comes to making the side car I don't mind
spending a few dollars on the correct material instead of used
galvanized.
Please advise. *What would you do?
Thanks, Ivan Vegvary
That metal is a little on the thin side for automotive uses, which is
typically done with 18 gauge. I'd call some commercial HVAC companies
first before scrapping it.
