Fig,
It seems the ja-broers don't want to put their money where there mouths are!! :shock:

How much for a 2/3 (of the picure) bus rack for my Fleetline? Bare metal. I've got some ideas on color coding with my bus when it is done one day......no wooden slats, just bare metal.

:D

When one shows me the money! :mrgreen:

Actually, I will not be making beetle racks, at least not until I have prefected a bus rack. I've decided that the bus rack will be easier, as every single tube on a beetle rack needs bending. The bus rack I pictured above looks good, while having comparatively fewer bends than most bus racks I've seen.

So Fig.

Are you making these racks or not? I'm looking for two racks for my bus, got a sliding roof, so i don't want to cover it with a roofrack. Mind you, having said that, being in joburg its probably not a bad idea, it'll be like having burglar bars on my sunroof........

Please let me know

No one made a commitment when I was ready to start making them. With all the cars I've bought this year I won't have time for roof racks for a while ...
