Good job to the OP .

I did 2x10's, but only two, glued/screwed together for the front, single at the rear, enough to get the jack underneath. Your's weigh almost as much as me. I'd have a work out hauling those around .

Yeah,,you could say that!! Frank,,good job,,they look solid!! Saw Mike's original post,,and thought they looked better that The expensive "Race Ramps". Lucky my wife bought me a Backyard Buddy years ago!! Getting too old/lazy to keep crawling under,,easier to walk under. It would take me just about as long to get down and crawl under as it takes to wait for the car to lift!! I am a true believer in "DO IT YOURSELF" though and give you !!

I made a set a year ago... I could not image what I would do without them. I've used them with my vette, a Honda Civic, Honda Del Sol, and even a Plymouth Voyager!

Thanks for the design Tim (Mike Mercury)!
