Iceman Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Are you me? I would love to see some kids run by that 2nd shot and give it a good shove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Juday Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Props for creativity, engineering, and efficiency. Other than a diagonal brace to keep it from rolling back I don't see a problem. Do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 yeah, you can't rotate it inside the garage. I'd PROBABLY consider something similar if I had space to roll the car out. But I'd prefer steel over wood, and ability to rotate in stationary position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid240z Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I agree with Dan. It just needs a little more engineering and stronger materials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you that. Just a little more engineering and you could do it though. ...But I'd prefer steel over wood, ... For the weight of an empty shell what he's got there now is overkill. I like the wood. Think about it: It's light, cheap, and more than strong enough for the job. When he's done it takes up very little space. (I've got an engine hoist taking up precious space in my cramped garage. I use it maybe once every two years.) It's easily recycled into house framing, funiture, or heating fuel. Remember, it's just a tool. Why spend a bunch of time and/or money on something most of us will use once? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second that.... this is exactly what I need. It may look red, but it is very functional. +1 for getting the job done! and I would kick a kids without question for even thinking about a little push! I wanna see more pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
