More of “The Rack”Mocked up before soldering:After soldering, before painting:I tried pop rivets but it was a little too wobblie for my liking, so I tried my hand at soldering.(I took electronics instead of metal shop. Soldering resistors is NOTHING like soldering tubing!)After priming and painting then mounting on The Little Red Car:Made from…[Read more]

Thanks EVERYONE for your input and pics.I had some criteria for my rack:1)It had to be CHEAP!2)I didn’t want to drill any new holes in the body3)It had to be able to open with the engine cover.4)It had to have enough room to remove the spare tire if needed5)It HAD TO BE cheap!I looked at as many racks as I could find, and settled on something like…[Read more]
