Default Aluminum practice material?

My bossing mallets are due to arrive in a couple of days, so I need to find some material to start practicing.

I've decided to try my hand with aluminum for my eventual motorcycle sidecar project.

That leaves me with the question of what exactly I should get. What alloy? What thickness?

Is that stuff sold pre-annealed, or should I figure on doing that too?

We have a few wholesale metal supply places in town here. Is this the sort of thing I would expect to buy locally, or am I going to have to have it brought in?

Thanks again for any recommendations, and in particular, thank you for indulging my beginner questions!
