    Great that you got what you wanted and that it looks good. That is the only really important thing anyway! The picture I posted was supposed to show my roof rack on the back of my VW but the picture got cropped on the website.
    Here it is in full if you want to look:

    I see that your roof rack bears no resemblance to mine, which doesn’t use wood at all. Yours looks a lot like the ones the VW Beetles used to sport, and I’ve seen some versions on buses (usually 1 to meters in length, no good for Dormies).They usually go for over $300 for even the smallest version nowadays. I still have no clue who made mine.

    Great picture. It brought back many memories of my hang gliding days, since I had that view of my 70 and 71 buses more times than I can count. They were always parked near the landing field, and I would usually end up setting up my final approach over them. I probably had at least twice as many views of my bus from directly overhead as I did of the underneath.
