Default Moose Bag(a good idea has been hijacked)

I liked EMS's original idea on how to mount his Moose Bag. The size of the bag is just what I wanted so I hijacked his idea and here are the results!

Very nice work, Gary.

One request, though. For future pictures, I would appreciate it if you would use a back drop of some sort so that we are not subjected to the images of all of your other toys in that cathedral you call a garage. [:'(]

I did use a mig. The key was to bead blast the original rack. The paint and primer (or maybe powder coat) was probably the issue. It was almost impregnated in the steel. Could have been some sort of self etching primer too.

Nice! And good idea, EMS. From here on forward, this shall always be known as the EMS mod, or, Eric's Moose Stabilizer
