Chrome plated Waag Push bar for Explorer Sports?!
I seen one like 2 weeks ago on a newer Sport, it was almost identical to my Waag bar, only in chrome. ANd man I practically wet my pants...
The side pillars where in chrome, with the black rubber gaurds like mine, and the horizontal top bar was black, and the bottom round bar was chrome i believe, and man, that looked KILLER. I have looked online but havent found anything. Id actually sell my waag bar and buy one of those instead.

If you keep the stuff inside your house you should be good, I live in S. Florida so I have insane humidity and when my dad owned a Harley parts store we would have a lot of bare metal parts and frames and stuff that would never even start to rust when they were in the showroom but as soon as some of that stuff hit the storage unit it all started to get surface rust pretty fast.

I have sent Many pieces of my Model A out to be re-chrome. all the shops i have delt with are great and the thickness of chrome plating and quality is far greater then ordering the same part new repop already chromed

Yeah I know, Im not dumb lol. Thats why I was saying to blast it and then keep it inside until your ready to chrome it...

if you get a good chrome shop you will have no problems with rust. this is just like your belief that your aluminum drive shaft is mickey mouse and cheap, you need to educate yourself on things before you make stupid remarks and mislead people.
huh? every house built after 1985 around here has central air

you got numbers to back that? Most people i know have central air that live north of Virginia
heck, if not, they have window units.
and seriously, look up the chroming process before you diss it. Most chrome dipped products out live "manufacter chromed items"

sand blast, rinse in parts washer, spray with fresh water (to remove solvent), air dry, spray with wd-40, set on shelf in warehouse.
months later-
pull from shelf, dip in acid, put thru plating process.
this is part of my everyday job is prepping parts for chroming.
