Are those ramps of your own design? Would love to have a description on making those if available. They really complement your set up.

yes, the red supports are 2x12s on 12 inch centers,glued and screwed, the centers are on french cleats,so they come out easy(45 degree angles) wrapped with 1/2 inch plywood, left a center square for a beam for jacking !!!!! the car at the bottom of the frame is 21 inches off the floor !!!!!














these are last years pic's !!!! repainted everything this year !!! (last week)

Like the shop, cabinets are great, nice car, nice job on the ramps...
Only thing; why the skull, what is it with the skull that people like? Small negative in a great looking shop. Makes mine look like turd (doesn't need help with that).

The skull is the Corvette Racing symbol....it is also common in military circles i.e. American Sniper.
