No creeper here....big flat piece of cardboard! :)

I think it would be quite crowded to use standard
ramps AND a creeper?

BTW:  I have to improvise with the ramps, the air dam
doesn't allow enough clearance, so I have to lengthen
the ramp and reduce the angle with wood planks or
other handy stuff...  Any suggestions before I end up
splitting all Dad's wood?

I'm really getting back to work this time....I swear!
:)
