go to home depot, rona or canadian tire and take a look at their assortment of heavy duty hinges.  You should be able to pick a couple off the shelf and bend and shape them as needed.

I'm looking for a cargo rack just like that. How much for you to build one and would you?

I was considering building a roof rack as well, those are some great ideas that I was trying to figure out how not to block tail lights or the liscense plate. What about just welding some steel tubing onto some angle iron, then cutting it into three sections? I would like to see some pictures once you are done. Thanks.
