Looking to buy some aluminum tubing 1/2", 3/4", 1", and some 1-1/4" 5052 to match up what I am welding it to or do I buy 6061?

Paul,
unless you really go shopping around what you are going to find will be 6061. Depending on how much you need you may find it easier to simply go to a big box hardware store (Lowes, Home Depot etc). Just make sure that the tubing is not metric with fractional labels. At one time some of those stores carried the Stanley brand and it was sourced from China and not the size as labelled. I had a couple of heated discussions with Stanley's "engineering" staff over the issue.

The friendly folks at Aircraft Spruce have what you need and they sell by the ft without a cut charge for a real decent price 5052 and 6061.
If you are building racecars, this is a must have catologe---- they have everything!!!!
