DIY Car Ramps

Found this online, looked pretty interesting. I have seen a lot of DIY car ramps that involved progessive steps, but nothing like this one. I really like the intergrated lights and whatnot. Anyways check it out:

if the framing is built properly, I dont see why it wouldn't hold...def a risk, but it should hold the weight. I would definitely do more truss work than the guy with the corvette did

Chico370Z · 04-14-2010, 02:44 PM
