car top carrier

anyone know where i can find one of those "do it yourself" car top racks?

the one that came with clips, straps and suction cups and you just added wood?

cant seem to find this anywhere. on a budget, and can't seem to bring myself to pay 300+ dollars for a rain gutter rack for a 1971 buick electra 4 door. Its bad enough that i double its value everytime i fill up the gas tank(455 cu. in. big block 12 mpg avg.) Bought it just for hauling yaks around paid only 400 for the car. one of those Yakima or Thule racks would look kinda silly on the beast. Besides, "wood is better"
