This cross member has been sitting inside my shop, out of the weather, for months before I installed it. It's already rusting! WTH? I'm seeing several places where it's starting. The paint looks very thin. I hate buying a high dollar piece like this and then have to spend time and money to paint it or powder coat it. I can imagine what this thing would look like if it were on a daily driver after 6 months. I guess that I will send it with the frame to the powder coater after I'm finished with mock up.
