They are out of 14 guage 304 stainless. Im thinking of trying to polish them mirror finish, but thats pretty darn hard to do without a bench polisher. Kasey 5922165-0412001724.jpg (86 downloads)

I tried to make them as tastfull as possible, Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Nothing wrong with being honest. Kasey Oh and there is absolutely NOTHING i dislike about your Dart other than its NOT MINE...

Its pretty rough, but its suposed to be, and its only under the rocker, and 1" up the body. I have seen the stainless all the way down the rocker as I did the rears, but I definatly didnt like that.
