2436 lbs of car is not that much, but that is the part that I am most worried about as well. I like the pyramids for the front, that can easily and inexpensively be overbuilt if I want to sacrifice a

The ability to have the car up to work on in a minute or so would be the reason for the first. For the second, I would make the height what fits me best, I don't mind working laying down, I just down

I was planning on gluing then screwing the doubled planks, that is how the ramps I saw were used. They basically made the 4x12's. I would like to see the pictures of the frame. I like the other ideas

I want to learn to weld and I want a welder. I don't have much money to get into this. Harbor Freight has just put one of their MIG welders on sale for $174.99. That is in my range! I also know that

As far as brakes are concerned, why take the risk. I'm nortoriously frugal, so I know money is a issue, but the ability to stop your car shouldn't be. Patton --Original Message-- From: "William Hook"

The last I heard, serviceable bug engines were pretty cheap ($300-$400). If the kit costs $300, having a 58 CFM @ 100 PSI compressor for under a $1000 might be a good way to go. Patton --Original Mes
