luggage racks for Model A's
Hey Brent and Vince,
Is the Zipp-A-Rak luggage rack still available? That is the one a guy in California used to make that is telescopic. Dale Gosa |

Re: luggage racks for Model A's
I have somebodys' ??? Re-Pro on Vermin. It once hauled a SHORT BLOCK from Northern Ca, to L.A.---
"Someone" on here was once involved with the Re-Pros. Berts, in Denver was "thinking" once, about making them. Bill Slick

John LaVoy (publisher of the Model A Times) made them previously. No longer available.

Re: luggage racks for Model A's
Find one and copy it. I've never seen one but it can't be that difficult.

Re: luggage racks for Model A's
You know, I had a thought. You could make one from bedrail, it is about the best steel I have found for welding and it should be about the same size, and who doesn't have bedrail laying around the shop?

Sorry I can't get out to the garage to get pics. "Maybe" La Voy has pics?? I "heard" that a Bill Miller made Re-Pros also, but don't know who/where he is. There was also a Bill Miller, in Las Vegas, that was somehow connected with NASCAR????---(LOVE NASCAR!) Bill W.

Re: luggage racks for Model A's
I learned the hard way that you don't cut a bed frame on your band saw. I wiped out the teeth on a brand new blade when I tried to cut a bed frame.

Re: luggage racks for Model A's
Bed rails can be hard to cut and aren't that strong.

Re: luggage racks for Model A's
Breaking the bed slats is an accomplishment to be proud of;-). A real cardio workout!

Re: luggage racks for Model A's
It's NOT made with angle iron. Has 3 heavy flat irons on each side that nest together & telescope out.
Does anyone have a picture of one of these? |
