Tim,

It works great. I never worried about the car falling as there are 1"  
dia. steel pins (both sides) every couple inches as a safety. It's  
solid and stable as can be. I've been saving it for the last 10 years  
since I moved, hoping I could find a way to use it in my garage, but  
the layout of the space just doesn't work. My old garage had a space  
to the side, just far enough out of the way that it did not obstruct  
getting cars in and out, so it was perfect. Here, it would always be  
in the drive path. I did make a number of modifications from the  
original drawing, but the photos are of the actual installation and  
the 3D views reflect the changes I made. It's strong enough to hold up  
a house.
