but that bracket is awesome, where are they from?

Yeah I'm not worried about it being right on the roof. I really hate the looks of roof racks that stick up on 4' off the roof. I tried to keep this one tight to the profile of the roof. In my next version the cross bars will be steel (not the current wood). The mounts are vintage Quik n Easy mounts from eBay. They are reproduced by Sweet Patina but I wanted vintage ones to better tie in with the rest of the crappy exterior.
