Default Sorta scale roof rack

This may not be a good scale item but it is easy, cheap, and most any clod owner has the parts.

requires 2 bumpers and 4 aluminum or plastic rod
to make the mesh for the bottom I used window screen

I used threaded rod bent to 90 degrees and glued into the corners.

Great idea! I'll have to give that a try myself as I have a couple of those old bumpers laying around.

haha, stuff like that is what most people want to see. Something they can make with the "junk" (not calling your stuff junk) that they have laying around. There are alot of people who don't even want to spend $10 on roof racks.

Good Job.

Na, you shouldn't be uneasy about a post like this. You shouldn't get anything but positive comments for a creative use of parts many have laying around.
Good job

adding a few more pics, don't you just love our "Michigan" rocks. I need a better front bumper and add a rear with a tire mount.
