Default Made "Mike Mercury" ramps last week (pics)

Hi
Made "Mike Mercury" ramps for my Vette last week. Thanks Mike Mercury for the great instructions Made them a little lower and longer, and added a couple more cross braces and handles. Turned out nice and they are working great And yes i know, my next Vette should be a Millenium Yellow

Nice job Made some myself about 6 months ago. I also "tweaked" his design to my own liking. That's what we do to our cars, why not our ramps?
I love the color of your car!

I went the stacked 2x12 route too, but I like the looks of these.

How much do these weigh compared to the stacked option?


nice job!!!!
