Hi,
I'm so lucky!  Today I was given some steel ramps.  (I guess really they aren't 
ramps at all, but I can't think what their called.)  Very rugged 
scaffolding-like structures intended to support automobiles.  8 feet long and 
then the rectangular but-horizontal-radio-tower-like base is 2' wide and 17" 
tall!!!!!!!!!!! Yahoooo

Question:  How can I get drive my TR3 up there?  I only have to raise it 17 or 
18" but can our cars, with only 6" of ground clearance, rise to the 
occasion???????????????

My car, at the moment, has no bumpers, nor an apron to impede things.  And I'll 
buy treated 2"x 10" planks for ramp runners.  Also I'll add 2x6's on the edges 
to keep my TR3 from running-off the incline.  I've also got heavy duty steel 
2x6" angle-lip things that I run my riding mower up and over when I load it on 
a pickup.  But can our little cars rise from ground level to 18" with only 8 
foot boards?  I might also buy planks to use as tread boards once the car 
climbs up on these things and traverses them.

Thanks, Paul Dorsey
