I can start to sell your roof rack over here in Europe. People mail me every week and ask where to buy them. The Danny stuff is hot Roof racks and other stuff 870859

Let's figure out how to get them over there, I'll make all you want.

Mohawk..... how about a knock down kit? Might be easier to ship.....just need someone with a split roof to weld it together.
Sold one to a bay owner that fits just fine.

What if you made them like the repo bug racks , bolt together. Just a idea.

I don't know what it will cost to ship them to Sweden. I think it will cost a lot.

A buddy of mine got one of your ghia racks at Daytona and then had it powdercoated in "almost chrome" or whatever its called. It looks sweet.

Tanbug Fri 05 Jun 2009, 10:30 am

He said it cost him about $40 for the P/C.....that's a steal.

bugdust Sat 11 Jul 2009, 12:32 am

Here's the ghia. I think it cost him $100-125 to get it powdercoated.

Cool, thanks for the pic.
Even with the price of powdercoating, it's still a good deal.

COOL!

Hey Tan, I like it, but where it looks like the rack attaches at the top is where the hold down straps go when the top is down.

Where does it attach at the bottom?

Deah Jawja Boodawg fayun,

Rack ideas came off of this Thing, the two tabs are above the taillight for the top mount.

The bottom of the rack goes in the square openings in the bumper and attaches.

Hopefully 73 & 74 Things have the same bumper.

In case of engine fire, the rack doubles as a grill for the tailgate parties. Roof racks and other stuff 664353
