I was asked to post plans of my ramps,so here you go !!!

























































I use clamps on my jacking support to hold unit in place when driving on. I drive on without help but I recommend you have someone watch as you drive on. Not for the faint of heart if alone.

Default Race Ramps RR-RESTYLE-16 Full Lift Ramps

I will have a set of the Race Ramps RR-RESTYLE-16 ramps on display at the following 2016 Carlisle, PA Car Shows:

Spring Carlisle - April 20-24 - Building T Spaces 16-19
Import/Performance Show - May 20-22 Row B74-76
Ford Show - June 3-5 - Building Z Spaces 9-11
Chrysler Show - July 15-17 - Building Z Spaces 7-10
Corvette Show - Aug 25-28 - Midway
Fall Carlisle - Sept 28 - Oct 2 - Building T Spaces 62-65

The ramps are 225" long by 16" wide by 14" high. The RR-RESTYLE-16 display ramps will be available at an attractive price to anyone who can pick them up at the end of the show. The ramps will fit into a pickup truck with an 8' bed. A truck with a 6' bed and a crew cab will also handle the 10-piece ramp set.

e-mail or PM me if you are interested in the ramps at any of the six Carlisle Shows which I will be exhibiting at this year.

Amazing damps. Good job on the builds. I don't think I have the room right now for that though. But I'm going to download the pdf and save it.

the dolly cart you see in the pic's is what I set the 4 corner blocks on,and I set the middle ramp on top of the other, they can be stored along the side of a garage, it's the main corners that take up some room. If interested download both files !!!! Thanks Guys it is very easy to work on your car with these, mine sits on them all winter. I just buffed the car out and I just sat on a seat with wheels.
