Bid bonus is now they don't slide at all. And they are still light, easy one hand delivery. Hey, "no hill for a climber"

Ramps
I built the ramps from Mike Mercurys plans for my 91 Vette , but now that the 91's gone I use them for my 98 Vette and didn't have any clearance problems with either one of them and I have plenty of room underneath for an old fat man like me to crawl around. I would highly recomend them!!!!! Thanks again Mike !!!!!!

As a follow up, I would like to point out that my "additions" are bolted to the ryno's. I would not recommend anyone try to simply bridge the ryno's without securing them.

I use a set of the black Rhino Ramps. Had them for years and not one problem.

$20 dollars and a few nails later - Voila!!!!! Perfect ramps! Even for a lowered car!

I'm going to be making some CEDAR Wood ramps next weekend. They will be 3.5 feet long and will have about an 8 degree angle. I need the wood ramps to get the car onto my 12' wide/12' long/3" high aluminum ramps. I use the 3" aluminum ramps (which replaced the 2 x 12's in these pics) to get over my mid-rise lift which requires 4.25" of clearance
