Thanks for the read, Pete. Can you imagine the field day police and child welfare officers would have with someone doing that today ?

A person could use carriage bolts with the heads sanded down to washer thin and painted to match the patina, as best it can be, to blend in with the existing body. I guess the rack could be stored as part of the cars history, but it would never be installed in my possession.

Exactly, cover those holes with plugs that match as close as possible and call it a day. That rack looks awful on an otherwise great looking car.
