I measured six times before I drilled the 18 holes for the roof rack. I put pipe dope on the screw threads to help keep the water out.
The rubber nut things are called "Well Nuts".
I think it looks pretty good.

Nice! Wagons always look better with a roof rack. I'll bet you're glad to check that one off your list!! [yay]
Very nice, Jeff! Looks like you're ready to throw some luggage up there and go camping/moteling for a week or so.
NICE!!!! Looks great Jeff.
You are a braver man than me Jeff. I would have cringed to drill a bunch of holes in my wagon roof. But it looks really nice.

Some vintage Skyway luggage would look nice up there. I suspect it is for looks more and not so much for use? In other words... empty luggage?
Maybe Aunt Edna from Vacation.

How about "Honk for grandma"
I don't wanna get political but you could pull a Mitt!
How about something functional? http://www.strangecosmos.com/images/content/161629.JPG
Monte Carlo bar is on. I had to slot the two inner bolt holes on the apron about 3/16” to get the top to rest on the fenders. Now to repair my belly bar where three POs ago cut for exhaust clearance.
Here is what a few hours and $20 in paint can give you. When I change the drive-line in a year or two I will be able to do a better job. At least for now I wont be terribly embarrassed when I open the hood.
I was shocked when, after reassembling the harnesses and installing all the bits, it fired right up. My horn isn't working but I ran out of daylight to troubleshoot. I'm guessing the fresh paint insulated the relay from chassis ground.
I also gave up the bungee cord that used to hold down my battery.
Mounted the skirts.
It looks really good Jeff.
Nicely done. You can bring your talents over for the assembly party in a week or so. (See reconstruction thread) looks nice Jeff.
WOW! Lookin' GOOD!
