You know you could always buy corrugated steel plate of the same thickness & size which will be a lot cheaper (had my aluminum plates already so it didn't cost me nothing).The only draw back will be more weigth & more PITA to drill the holes but they will do the same job.Best place to buy the steel plates will be from a fab shop since when it come to cutting they usually have a shear which does a lot cleaner job then the torches.

Yes nice if you don't have 6/7 ft of snow & minus 20*f weather to tackle with four months a year, that ramp of yours will get buried under the snow in no time at all.A couple pics,lanscape is a litte different in the winter time up here then your part of the wood.

Yes snow would be a problem ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Depending on what you were doing most things were able to be done very comfortably in a sitting position. It's history now anyway as I sold them a long time ago but they were cheap to have made and worked very well . If you have the space this is infinitely better than working on jackstands. I eventually dug a two foot deep pit under the gearbox area so I could use a gearbox jack.
Of course I'd rather have a lift.

Since we are on the subject of lifting car, lol another one of my invention that minimize damage to the doors sill when using a floor jack.Old speakers magnet that stick to the lifting point,sandwiched teflon/aluminum flat plate modify to fit my low profil 2.5t floor jack.Work like a charm on lowered car.
