Metal, keep it or scrap it

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

I do own an English wheel and a 3-in-1 metal machine. *Don't need a

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
Okay, made a decision. Talked to my HVAC person (neighbor) and he
informs me that he can get me a new 8 foot sheet of galvanized for $
20. Ergo, I will only keep an few pieces and scrap the rest.
Thanks for all the great ideas posted.
