[QUOTE="Goose17, post: 15993560, member: 137255"] I added a vertical 2x4 to the inside only to keep the vehicles from falling off the ramps and be a wheel guide entering/exiting the trailer. This needed tweaking later. [ATTACH=full]1512244[/ATTACH] The removable section that mechanically locks into place. I also used an electric planer to ease the grade at the beginning and crest of the ramps: [ATTACH=full]1512245[/ATTACH] Next was 4” wide grip tape applied where the rear tires might slip: [ATTACH=full]1512246[/ATTACH] It was time to test! First on deck was the Shelby. This car has the lowest front of all of my Stangs (the 00R has a removable splitter). I was concerned about the splitter hitting, but only testing would reveal for certain: I was happy to see the initial approach cleared! [ATTACH=full]1512247[/ATTACH] This was my contact point... the vertical 2x4 wheel guides would need some trimming: [ATTACH=full]1512248[/ATTACH] The door height worked! [ATTACH=full]1512249[/ATTACH] I moved the trailer to the house and used some lights to work on it at night for the final tweaks: [ATTACH=full]1512250[/ATTACH] Two tweaks were needed after testing the Shelby... one was to trim down the beginning of the vertical 2x4 guides and the other was to move the guides inwards just a bit. Since I can’t see the guides from the driver’s seat, they had insufficient clearance and needed a little more tolerance for getting into the trailer. I used a 2x2 to space the vertical guides inward. These were glued and screwed. [ATTACH=full]1512251[/ATTACH] This shot shows the final configuration with the guide spacers in and with the guides shaved down at the beginning to clear the Shelby splitter. [ATTACH=full]1512252[/ATTACH] Next up for testing was my 2000 Cobra R. I had 2 spotters on this test. One to guide me in and the other to watch the side exhaust. The nose without the splitter had no problem clearing: [ATTACH=full]1512253[/ATTACH] I was quite concerned with the side exhaust hitting the crest... it was close, but cleared!!! [ATTACH=full]1512254[/ATTACH] Success! [ATTACH=full]1512255[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
