Sounds good to me, but cast will not work on Tow Hooks, I think they have to be forged.

This is very true. They must be forged in order to be used. You can cast some, but it wouldn't take long for someone to bust them up. Trevor

It would be a good deal if you sold them as "Show" only hooks. I just don't know what would happen down the road if someone tried to use them "as" tow hooks... Interesting subject.
