Does anyone know of any threads or information on doing a DIY luggage rack? Plans, material, etc?

Can you weld? If so, just surfing the net for images of roof racks should give you plenty of ideas.
Looks like it would be pretty straight forward. Bend the sides to your liking, determining where the rain gutter pads would go and the clamps. Attach side to side rails and either front to back strips in wood or metal tube.

If I didn't already have one, I'd make one myself.
