Wow Marty! BRAVO!! Most Excellent execution! I love great fits like this...most inspiring! I too used an old blackburn rear rack. If you start out with a few different grades of scotch brite pads, moving to finer grades, then start with Mothers Mag polish, those rack struts will shine almost like chrome. It's faster than painting....but, everyone gets to build it their way....that's the magic shared here!
