Polished Alu T-bars: Best source in U.S.

[slowsixtyseven]

Hi all,

Glad to see this forum is alive and well...I've frequented shoptalkforums and the old cal-look forum (RIP) for many years and not sure why I didn't end up over here sooner - seems like a great place to be.

Anyhow, looking for a high-quality source for polished aluminum t-bars in the United States. I noticed Fast Fab has some nice ones but they only seem to come in raw and I dont have a local polisher near me. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
Chris

Fast Fab one get my vote, how hard would they be to polish up?

They do have some nice looking aluminum t bars. I did contact them asking if they can outsource some polishing for extra money but have not heard back.

It seems like there are fewer people making quality t bars these days or maybe I’m just not looking in the right places?

I just bought a set for my 56 from them, the quality is good. I was also wanting to get a polished set but I will end up doing it myself I think. I bought the hex units.

I have a set or Fast Fab's hex bar t-bars on my '69. I'm very happy with them.

did you polish them yourself or have someone do it for you? I used to have Sihilling (spelling?) polish my parts when I lived in SoCal and they did a great job.

Honestly, I thought they came polished, maybe I had them done. I think I picked them up at a show about 8 years ago, maybe he polished them up for the event. Regardless, I love the way they look. If you want the round stock, the ones Empi sells are good. Nice welds, and I know for a fact they come polished.
