I've had a few over the years and kept the nicest one from the origonal owner who got it in 62 at the dealership. I'd post a picture here but not sure how to. I'll try in the gallery.

My Bug..... Confused Some jerk almost killed me. Was never once looking ahead to see me. Happened July 15th. So very thankful I was looking and got over as much as I did or he'd have driven through me like I was a ghost. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9P20P8vqJCI

This is the repop/custom rack I had on my car when I bought it. It was made by someone on the samba. Much higher sides which is nice to keep things snug and a wood slat bottom. Anyone know who was making these?

No idea who made that. I see other fake racks out there listed online from time to time. I've even chatted up a few rack builders selling fakes at shows. I understand the argument of the high sides on yours but I'm so used to seeing my original this one hurts to look at a bit. Car is nice though.

I feel yah Laughing . I am not a huge fan of how monstrous it looks when its empty so it stays off the car. For a show, filled with vintage coolers/luggage I think it looks great though.

Is the rail a convenient 12 inches high? An 1/2 inch conduit bender would make a 12 inch diameter circle. It would be very easy for the home builder to make that.
