alright guys im not posting any pics yet so dont ask. when it is done ill post a bunch of pictures all together of the whole build up and the finshed thing

im using 2x2 sq tubing for all of it, it has rasied expanded metal on the top, cross braces are spaced close together. its gonna be pretty visable from the road so i want to paint the ramp a good color so itll look awesome and so it wont rust (would like to paint it all one color too


btw if you are wondering its 5 feet tall, 6 feet wide, and 10 1/2 feet long (13 feet with the bottom folded down)

im buying the paint saturday night when i go to hotsprings so more votes are welcome. oh yea for a teaser ill post my plans in a new thread tonight but its still gonna be about 2 weeks for the build up pics becasue i still have to surface the ramp and finish all the welds and then get the pics developed so be paitent itll be worth it

ive found a new color that i really really like my grandpa showed it to me today its called "hammered bronze" its looks like mix between drak green and silver it looks really sweet. maybe yall have heard of the color before if not i guess you could look it up or sumthin but i think thats what color im gonna paint it either it or red guess it depends on what i feel like buying tomorrow night keep voting im still thinking on the color but for now i gotta go weld on it some more, since ill be gone tomorrow. maybe by sunday afternoon ill have it surfaced and ready to paint for monday

Sounds like about what our ramp is. Almost same dimensions and everything. Dont paint it pink and black.:p I think kawasaki green would be cool.
