Mike,
I was referring to getting a tailgate/ramp of that nature up and in running-down-the-road position. It would be a two person effort, I'd think. As I get older I realize that one of me left the body so I always need all the help I can get. :>)

> To me the type of ramp would depend on what you planned on hauling. It has been quite a few years from when I last talked with Bert about this project... but if I remember correctly, the Curtis trailer is to carry TWO Formula Vee race cars. <http://www.formulavee.us/what_is_fv.htm> These are very low to the ground, so there can not be any large angles at the top or bottom of the ramp. If you look at the pictures, you can see some of the lift that is to lift the first car up so the second car can be slipped under the first. <http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=42004>
