Stainless rusts eventually regardledless of quality.

We will see how it works but i for see no problem and for like 23.95 bucks delivered for all chrome im calling it a deal.... Dont expect it to be in any kind package but it came usps flate rate and wrapped in bubble wrap. Guess i got something to do tomorrow.. I may need to run to menards for chrome fasteners but ill check the hot rod drawer for stainless first... Ill have peace of mind now knowing it wont disassemble itself out somewhere or sometime where I have nothing to fix it with...

Yup, ordered mine this morning and paid the extra $5 for the hardware.
Already have a custom rod but still a good deal.

Years ago the company I worked for mfg. some products that contained some stainless.
We were told that stainless can over time rust. Maybe they were mistaken.

While there seems to be some disagreement this article says All stainless can rust if not stored or handled properly.

wow your a little touchy today .... heres what I know... ive never had any stainless rust and ive also never miss handled it or anything to make it rust.. I also stated that there are some stainless types out there that are magnetic and can rust...
So when i get a chance ill further my knowledge by checking your link and you should really try to stay calm ... It was pretty much a joke but also i made my point about the types of stainless....
Lets not get into a pissing match here been there done that .
remember this is the internet so im always right ..

Rusting Stainless steel

I have worked on many dairy farms and drove semi hauling milk and have never seen anything stainless steel rust.Must be top of the line to not rust and use in food industry.
