Anyone know of ramps an O6 can navigate for oil changes and such - other than $300.00 aluminum ones available on the web.

1997-2006 JACKING PAD - ALUMINUM (SET OF 4) 105380 59.95 SET are available on Corvette Central, other websites have them too. I have used them on my previous C5's with a miniature trolley jack and stands, but you need to be careful where you apply the stands. This also allows wheel removal which ramps don't, hope this helps, maybe others know better hints

Thanks, I'll keep this in mind for a fall back position but ramps are the real goal. Spent years in the UK and a few days at Mormand Hill, NW Scotland (if memory serves): Wonder if the site is still there?

The raceramps look fine but I don't see a side edge (once slipped off a ramp and caused a real 45 degree hanging mess - took a jack and some swearing to cure - don't want to do that again.) The wood, home made idea, is right up my alley: cheap and I could add my own edging. I'll weigh the weight, storage, cost and termite issues vs. the aluminum ones and come to a decision. Thanks all.
