Hi all!

 

Trying to find a roof rack!

 

Really love the monte carlo style ones but would love to see what everyone else has or their links on where to get them!

 

 

Sorry if there's already enough threads on roof racks, all the old ones I've read none of the links work as they've all expired or been sold!

 

 

 

Cheers

Ended up making my own.  I don't think it looks as good as some of the others, but it was cheap, and it is pretty strong!

One from across the pond by Pedro's Racks....he does these for vintage VW's and Porsches, etc.  I would love to find a Monte Carol here stateside - just impossible to find.

I'm using a Monte Carlo one on Chop at the moment, but with a 6" roofchop, putting a full height rack on the top looks a bit odd.

Still, the rocking horse, skis and sledge on the top draw the eye away from the tall rack! :D

I'm currently bending and welding up a new rack which will hug the roofline by less than 2" and is full length and full width. It clamps onto the gutterline at the corners and just above the B pillars and will be slatted in chestnut :highfive:
