      Very nice work! Have you decided on a stain yet? Red sounds sweet, your car is bronzit correct?

          No currently it is luxor beige metallic(darker and much rarer), but I am planning on a dark purple semi. So I think I am going to go with a black cherry and RV semi gloss every other one (x10).

              I'll be looking out for this too. Looks like it'll be nice.
              The first car I ever rode in was an e30

                        Are you directly mounting the wood slats to the crossbars?

                          That is correct, mounting the cross braces from tower to tower(left to right). Then the side braces get mounted on top of those(front tower to the rear tower). The item carrying slats get mounted to the underside of the cross braces. This will make a complete square stopper for items. I am also making a bolt system to mount the Yakima bike rack.

                                There is that 45.00 rack on ebay that would work perfect. DO IT! I already showed most of what to do ;)

                                Is there a wind blocker in the front? If so sell it to me! And most welcome for the inspiration.
