I have also put a rack on my old 68 as Ron did. I can't remember the donor
car - too many years ago. I also started putting a rack in another frame a
few years ago, but the house burned down on it and killed it. This time I
was putting the rack in the back of the cross member by cutting a section
out and welding reinforcements in. It would have pretty clean
installations, but required cutting. I still have the rack - I think
Subaru.

What rack did you use? Off of what I should say. I
have thought about doing this to the Turbo Roaster but
had not found s suitable donor yet. Any info would be
helpful.
