Jason, I was not going to say anything until I got them back from chrome. But I have 14 grab bars being chromed at Chromemasters right now. I should have them back next week. My son made them up in between his welding jobs.

I did not think he wanted to do anymore either but he decided he could use some extra money between jobs. You are not stepping on any toes as I don't own the market on them. I just wanted to mention it since I will be listing them for sale soon.

I need to see what cost plus time is. Keep in mind its hours of work, chrome, shipping 3 times (to chrome shop, back to me, and then to you) metal to make it, and welding supplies. Lots more than just bending a pipe and shipping it out. I want it to be affordable but i want some money out of it too.

Jason, I wouldn't mind a set unfinished to either powdercoat or get it chromed. I would think that would give a bunch of options plus keep the cost down. Either way if you can make it work count me for one.

I understand your cost I was mostly talking about the others that are mass produced. I know yours are hand made and will cost more. BTW I am good with a unfinished one as I will most likely black it out. If you want to sell any like that let me know how much.
FYI they were never mass produced, All were painstakingly made by people with the skills and time to make a beautiful piece of chrome that is for aesthetics only, i dont think any of them made a living making the grab bar. Anybody with any fab skills will attest to this, Mort
