Regarding that platform on top of the hood, the project started out as just the pair of car-top carrier tubes. I used it like that for years, for carrying long tools like a shovel or a rake or a broom. In that form it wasn't too heavy. To hold the tools on, I wrapped a bungee cord around each tube, barber-pole style. I would slide the tool under the bungee cord to secure it. Just last year I got the bright idea to attach a platform on top of the tubes to be able to hold small things also. I like it so much that if it didn't work with the straps attaching it, I would bolt it right to the hood.
