Not only that but be prepared to keep an eye on them if you don't coat them. I think they look great in the raw and I am sure that you won't have any trouble but the possibility does exist especially in MN for even the best Stainless to oxidize. Notice I did not say the R word... that was just PC on my part out of kindness.

I can show you all sorts of examples of high grade stainless with a terminal case of the awful stuff. On a show/go car that won't play in the elements a whole bunch you should be fine, and you can always blast and coat them at some point in the future if the need arises.

Nice haul of parts and progress lately!!

Your shop is becoming more interesting all the time! I hope Max has the staff put up some more Sponsor banners and not Pooh Bear or BackYardigans and such.:P

:cheers:
