I need to buy / build a new car ramp for the La Jolla Concours car show. The show is in April of next year.

Anyone know of any steel or aluminum fabrication shops in San Diego county? This ramp is not ornamental. It is purely functional. Our current ramp is wood and has been patched dozens of times. Last year, a 1923 Stanley Steamer pretty much crushed that wooden ramp.

We have a new Bugatti Divo coming in next year. $5.8M if you can find one. In the old days, the width of a cigarette pack was considered a low car. Today's supercars have about 2 cigarettes of clearance.

I've looked at every off-the-shelf product from here to LA. No luck. I'm pretty sure our ramp needs to be custom made.

Ideas and vendors are welcome. A private message is fine.

If you haven't seen it, here's a 3 minute video from the entire 3 day event last April. The results of my work start at about 1:45 minutes:

What's your budget? There is a shop co-owned by my buddy on mission gorge road that does custom and they are good. Best actually.

Budget is open. I just need an estimate to take to the board. And they don't have a whole lot of choices.

If you want to meet at the display field in La Jolla, just let know.

Thanks for trying. But I think I have my problem solved. If you look under enough rocks, sooner or later you'll find that gold nugget.
