It cost around 250 bucks in materials at home depot and 5 hours to make if you are handy with tools.

I only go off and on it with someone guiding me. As long as you pull up to the ramps and keep the wheels strait it is easy.

The ramps are VERY sturdy. It doesn't sway back and forth. I have 3 4x4 braces that connect the ramps. I'm probably going to remove 1 so I have 1 on each side making it really easy to get in and out of.

There is enought room to sit indean style abd work on the tranny, clutch, rearend or whatever.

I'm on my way over when MJ's brace comes in. On a side note did you do your own clutch install? If not where did you have it done?

Awesome man! :beer: That's sweet... and alot better then using the jackstands! In my 88 Mustang my friend Chris and I were under it and it started slidding backwards... and yeah that sucked needless to say and we about shit in our pants:lol:

 

[flyn high again]

Your work looks very professional! I would think about some triangular braces inside the sides to prevent the upright legs from slipping forward or backward and collapsing. The screws are the weak point.

 

[fubu795]

very cool, good idea!

 

[HISSMAN]

I would have double decked the 2X10's, but that is just Me building houses for years talking. Make sure you keep that wood nice and dry.

that is some sick ass shit right there. i give you the honor of being handy man of the month. congrats! lol seriously though i think that if you made the plans for that you could sell em and make some $$$.

If the side boards are not structural you should make them removable to let some light in. In Winter time, leave them on.

I'd brace the inside with metal strapping or a bolted through 2x4 just to be sure.

 

[bassin247]

The sidebaords are structural. I have a bunch of lighting I'm going to use when I'm working on the car.

On a side note, I think I just destroyed my transmission.
