In Response To: S&G: Strip-built "rocket-box" (Marcel R. in Portland, Or.)

: I was up in Whistler, B.C. this weekend and saw a Subaru Forester cruising
: around with a strip-built cartop carrier (like a "rocket-box").
: I immediately looked to see if it was Chip driving (he was probably home
: trying to whittle the car itself out of wood). It wasn't and I didn't get
: a picture, but does anyone know who built it? My wife has put it on my
: "to-do" list.

: Regards,

There is never an original idea. I have been thinking about building one too. I just gota get the kayak finished first. I would like to have seen it. In my mind it would look really great, especially next to the kayak. (i will repeat...when it is finished) My original target was to be done by the last week of July. Now I'm hoping to make it in under a year. Maybe a stapleless double was a little agressive in six months.
