Economy Frame Rail Feeler

Zinc plated steel might be an option, but a powder coated part will be just as rusty in a few months. Whenever you bottom the car out on speed bumps or take rock chips you will knock the powder coat protection off an area and it will rust. If you zinc plated the part it would have cathodic protection for areas that the plating got scratched off of, so it would work a bit better.

They will be stainless. As soon as I get the package from tvalenziano it should be a week or two to have a firm quote. I did speak to the shop last week, and as long as I stay at 11ga stainless .(105 thick) , I can turret punch them. They said I can punch whatever size hole I want in that gauge stainless, so I am planning on lightening holes in the sides and the bottom. This will make them very similar in weight to another well known brand. I'm still planning on less than $100 per set.
