Hey BAM - sorry to hijack, but is there a significant difference between the aluminized steel and s/s (besides, of course, the cost and ability to Mig)?

Thanks, Jim

Well Stainless Steel is more corrosion resistant than the aluminized steel. But I had aluminized under my car for about 10 years and it looks the same as the day I installed it. Being in Cali and building a truck I plan to drive as a fair weather vehicle I just don't see the need for stainless. I will paint the welded area and call it a day.lol Now if I were building a show car I would go stainless.
