Thanks Bluehawaiins |
When I saw it, I immediately thought of the carpet runner you can get by the foot at City Mill; looks about the same width and thickness (and you don't have to buy too much); wrapped around and glued onto the ABS/PVC
I was curious why not ABS on the corners? |

Looks to me like WNDZRFR had that covered:
If you look at the earlier pic from the rear, the boards are low, and would have to plow through his seat (if the bungies through the footstraps give way enough).
Only sails at head height. I wouldn't be *too* concerned about those (they'd still have to make their way through the headrest).
On top there's a boom that could come flying over his/her head through the windshield, but given how carefully tied up the rest is, I'll bet that's anchored somehow.
But still a good point for van-rack builders: DON'T AIM PROJECTILES AT THE DRIVER (or preferred passengers if you have room for them) |
