I would use pencil & paper to draw the car & trailer to scale and use that to estimate the length of ramp needed. Then make it longer. Even if it fit this car the next car might be lower, longer, hav

I bought a portable tank from Tractor Supply. Sale price plus a coupon meant I paid ~ $20. It is certainly worth that! The tank seems to be sturdy but the fittings seem of low quality but they don't

Aluminum can be cut with woodworking tools. Do you have a table saw? Clamp the aluminum to a table saw and raise the blade up to cut the slot. A carbide blade makes a kerf ~ 1/8" wide but it'd have s

I'd like to hear plan B first. I'd wonder if welding the cable would weaken it or cause hard/inflexible areas. Can you add a spacer at the other end? Remove the cable and take it to someone who can p

Any of those methods will work. Paint stripper is probably the slowest but safest (to the sheet metal). Sandblasting can warp sheet metal. A paint stripping heat gun might be the best compromise. Eri
