Re: Building safe ramps rather than buying for big $$

I have a set of these too but I used 4 rough cut 3x12's with an angled one so you do not have to drive up steps. I didn't bother with mine but I seen some heavy ones before that had 2 castor wheels bolted to the flat front, so when you put them away you could just lift the ramp end and wheel/steer them around.

Same kid and same concept; different ramps and different car.

I assumed 'same kid' but noticed the cars were only similar, not the same. Both very cool though. Thanks for sharing them.
