Do-It-Yourself Car Ramps

Do-It-Yourself Car Ramps TIRES/WHEELS New Uses 28-2-36 It took Jacob May only about an hour to make a set of portable car ramps, using nothing but his cutting torch, welder and a bit of scrap metal. May welded pieces of 1-in. thick flat steel tubing to a pair of 15-in. car wheels. "The car ramps you can buy are made out of sheet metal, so they're not that safe," May explains. "Because the rims have a lip on them, the vehicle's tire fits inside the lip and you don't have to worry about your vehicle rolling." May cut a curve into the flat tubing with a cutting torch and then welded them to the rims."They were real simple to make and they work really well. You can easily move them around your shop as needed." Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Jacob May, HC 53, Box 21, Interior, S. Dak. 57750 (ph 605 455-2425).
