(Matt..... I posted on your update in the Titelock Rack thread that will also refer to some corrections in this one.)

Hey "Naked"! I had the Jim Dandy Rack hanging up in my barn for a couple years after I got it from you before I was brave enough to perform the repairs of the cracks in the frame at the forward 2 screws. I was really scared to touch it myself but I did a lot of research into what I needed to do to it. When I got the rack from you I didn't have a nice welder that I was familiar with. When I did get a nice Snap On Welder from a good VW friend moving back to Puerto Rico I practiced up and I started back into it. I was able to find some steel tubing that just barely slipped inside the Jim Dandy's tubing to reinforce the frame. I drilled some holes in some places and I plug welded them and also welded up the cracks. I then hand filed all the welds back down perfectly smooth with the rack. I really took some time and care to do that. I then used cold galvanizing spray and it and blended in nicely to the original coating on the rack. It is almost impossible to find the repairs. I just used the rack again this weekend on a trip to Hahira, GA visiting and camping out with some friends. My friends use it for a great plate and beer holder when they are standing around my car chatting. Glad you finally got to see an update of your old rack. It's been loved since I've had it.

What about the one that is for sale on here? Is that one accounted for? Also my name isn't up on the list replaced with the other Jason's.

Morning jz56oval!. I addressed some incorrectness in the list as Matt updated both the Empi Titelock and Jim Dandy Forum with the same list. There has been a mixup of sales and other information of who bought who's rack. I posted and informed him of your purchase from Jason. Should be fixed by the time Matt gets the information and updates it. Hope you are getting some good use out of your rack.

So the one that is for sale on here is already accounted for in the 7? Yeah I'm getting some use out of mine but right now she sits in the garage waiting for better weather and for the VW show season

I'm not sure exactly who owns the one for sale and if it's accounted for in the list. Perhaps someone should shoot him an email. I'm heading out to work.

Randee @ Randar Wheels found one earlier this year in Oregon. He just recently sold it to a guy in Florida that plan on reproducing them. Does this new found rack make #8?

I hope it's Chad over on the Florida East Coast. He makes Bus Racks already. He's been studying mine for a bit.

Cooler news yet........ I think you have an EMPI Titelock Rack! Can we see a close up photo of where there is or used to be sticker on the clamp and also where the cross bars meet the side loops of the rack. That will make "3" of them known to exist!

You most definately have an EMPI Titelock. The texture of the aluminum is correct on the deck and also the way that you have aluminum inserts in the end of your cross bars is correct for the EMPI. It is exactly like mine.... even where the label has faded away. Can you tell anything of the label even in the bright sunlight or at an angle.... make out or read anything at all? I sent you a PM btw so feel free to contact with the information I provided in that PM message.
