Still waiting for a reply from Iceman. Here is a dumb question... How does someone contact a forum member?

Sorry for the lack of response. I've been online but not much time to reply.

jdenn, you have enough clearance for a system line mine. The stock air damn sits about 21" in front of the inside of the front wheel. My ramps allow a car that is as low as 3" to get up on them without touching.

I made a set from a set of staging planks that I had kicking around. Nothing anyone can't do in an hour, and they hang on the garage wall when your done. No scraping, and they have a safety 'stop' when you get to the top , so you can never go over!! These have been used about 30 times already with no problems!!

Hey Jeff. I think you should take your pics on sunny days. ;-)

I'll admit I went a bit overboard but I do have the ramp pieces I can move around to get one end of a vehicle in the air and I also have the ability to get any vehicle completely in the air and level. This helps when the job requires having the car elevated and level.

There's no such thing as "overboard" in the Vette world is there?

I would prefer to say that Iceman's ramps and my own are diversified.
