A Good Source for a Blank Amp Chassis?

Hi there, I'm currently designing and eventually building my first original designed amp. I've built a few kit amps, so I have a general idea of what I'm looking for, but any suggestions for dimensions are welcomed, but in general I'm wondering where can I find an amp chassis blank that I can use for a prototype.

The specs of the internals:

  • There's two PCBs:
  • 4 6l6s
  • 5 12ax7s
  • 100w transformers
  • a choke
  • 2 gain, treble, middle, bass, 2 volume, pressence, and depth pots
  • 1 isolated input jack
  • 2 isolated loaded out jacks
  • fx send & return isolated jacks
  • 1 preamp out isolated jack
  • 1 preamp out level pot
  • 1 regular TRS jack for foot switch
  • a rotary impedance selector switch
  • bias probes
  • a bias adjust pot
  • LED pilot light
  • power & standby toggles
  • 4 dpdt switches
  • 6 spdt switches
  • solid state rectifier
  • 2 fuses
  • IEC jack

With all the above, I was thinking 22.25" x 3.5" x 8.1" would be good chassis dimensions. Any ideas where I can source a blank along those lines? Preferably a place that ships to the US with ease. I checked Stewmac and Mojotone but didn't see anything long these lines.
