Poor Man's Qwik Lift for $250.00 (look!)

[RedBarchetta]

Dwight and others,

Thanks for the accolades, but I honestly have to give credit to a guy on corvetteforum.com that I 'lifted' the idea from about 5 years ago. He was a carpenter by trade and had a C4 that he used it on. I just had to make a few minor adjustments to fit the Cobra chassis and accommodate the wider rear track. Yeah, the first couple drives up and down can have a little pucker factor , but once you get the hang of it they really work well. So far I have had only one end support (6" 2x4) on one of the bridges actually split a little. Even with that ding, it's still very stable and it's great to keep the undercarriage clean and to perform general R&R without using a floorjack. I'm also tall (6'3"), so reaching into the engine bay doesn't require a lot of stooping and that saves the back.

I built the ramps with the intentions of eventually getting a true Qwik Lift. But they have worked so well that I've used that money for mods on the car.

Have a great week, everyone!
