Attaboy - tandem seems to make more sense anyway. Kinda why I envisioned mine as a local hauler instead of an interstate rig.
They look right loaded with cars, even if the ones on the lower level are rather obscured.
You're gonna need a wide display case !

Thanks Topside for now I’m just using wide shelves to display my trucks. Today’s progress I was able too match the other side and working on the main section. I’m re engineering the back top section with more steel and a adjustable rigid support to keep it raised up.   |

On mine, there's enough "slop" in the rams for the upper rear ramp that they hold that ramp up even with a car on it.
They did want to slide off the pins, but touching the pins with a soldering iron to flare the ends out fixed that.
I like your work on that, looks great.
With my L700 hooked up, total length of my setup is about 28".

I’ve started the drilling on the ramps. The base kit has 2782 holes and with my modifications I’m going to be over 3000 holes to drill. So far I’m at 175 holes drilled. More to come.  |

You sir are crazy! I think I will just paint the holes flat black on mine if I ever get around to building it.
