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..... 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 _________________ ........... _╒═══╕_JimDandy.and.EMPI-Titelock.

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. _________________ ........... _╒═══╕_JimDandy.and.EMPI-Titelock.

I feel yah . 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. |
