Quoted from lrosent345:Thanks for posting that.
I hope you have several more clear ramps! I'm sending the king of space shuttles your way!
Quoted from TechnicalSteam:Behold - The long awaited Space Shuttle Ramp in its packaging splendor!
So beautiful. I've been so patient on this project. Hope I don't stay up
all night and have to call in sick tomorrow installing.[quoted image]
I hope it's clear!
Quoted from ruralcollector:Hurray!!![quoted image]
So pretty. Now go install it so we can all see! Lol
Quoted from Apinjunkie:Hey you got one too. Now put aside that F-14 and high speed and get on that shuttle ramp!LOL
F-14 is quiet (still a couple of small annoying things to address eventually)! This high speed though.... Got me big mad.
I don't wanna take SS apart with so many problems on my other machines lol.. It's the only one with no issues really! 
I finally just powered World Cup Soccer off because the GI is getting worse. Ugh
Quoted from Apinjunkie:I get it, I was just yanking your chain. Shame about the WCS that's a fun game.
I do really want to install my new ramp though. How much effort is it to swap out? If it's not a TON of crap to disassemble and can be done inside the cab, I could probably force myself to do it this weekend.
No idea WTH is going on with WCS. It's a repinned connector with a repinned header. Stupid.
I'll take a look tonight and see if it's something I think I can knock out quickly. I know a lot of people (myself included) want to see how awesome it looks.
Quoted from Tronn1982:Off topic but since you have to take it off, any chance you can post a pic of that ball gate that's on the ramp? its missing on the machine I'm restoring and I have to make it.
Oh my. Can't buy a replacement?!

No kidding. I liked the scheme with the black ramp but it's gonna get swapped out entirely, probably with just warm white GI all around.
IMG_20190922_213714 (resized).jpgQuoted from Apinjunkie:I think it looks awesome, the lighting that was under there might have been a bit much for you now but this piece opens up so many lighting options and opportunities. On the flip side a guy won't be able to neglect the shooter lane on this machine any longer. Thanks for sharing.
You're right, it absolutely does open up lighting options. Now I get to figure out how to best take advantage of it lol. I love the ramp, looks great! Only negative for me is that now my entire color scheme has to be changed 
How did I miss that there was a ramp/shuttle combo, at a discounted price on the website?! Dohhhhhh!!!!
Switched out for mostly warm white but kept the front two ramp lights blue. Changed lanes to red under the red covers. Cut power to the blue trough light. Much better. Oh, and swapped cool white for warm white in the backglass shuttle. I much prefer the way cool white looks but the reflection is HORRIBLE with them in. Slightly less horrible with warm white.

Haven’t made the switch to LEDs yet as with @ksuwildcatfan I’m deep on my HS Hardtop restore. Think I like the glow of incandescence though unless a dye/film option becomes available.[quoted image]
High speed and Space Shuttle. High five, 6 feet away, to you!
I swapped out the two blue lights under the ramp entrance to a couple of 1SMD ultraviolet lights I had. I think I like the less aggressive, toned down look. Also noticed I missed one of the bulbs under the ramp--whoops--and replaced the backglass lettering "SPACE SHUTTLE" and exhaust with amber bulbs. I think I'm done for now.. Maybe...

I think the clear looks ok above, just not loving all the white under it.
I thank you guys for being the guinea pigs.
That was my fear also. It's not my favorite, but I love the way the ramp looks otherwise, so I'm very happy with it.
Quoted from dzorbas:I love the clear part over top of the shooter lane. The original ramp hides a bit too much. Needless to say, I bought the black one and my buddy bought the clear one.
I'm just happy that I was able to buy a replacement. Thanks again Larry!
Both are great choices. Unsurprisingly, Larry knocked it out of the park. Really happy with how mine transformed with the new ramp and lighting.

Larry are you out of clear SS ramps? I had someone comment about how they loved my machine (yessssssss, feed me those compliments!!!) and really wanted a clear ramp of his own. I told him how this all went down and to check inventory with you, but I'm not even sure he has a Pinside account tbh.
Awesome, glad to play matchmaker. I love my clear ramp, you did a fantastic job!
Hopefully my friend came through with a big order also, he's only got like 9 of these damn things.. lmao

Got an order coming in shortly for a Cyclone set..he's very excited to dump his originals (two of which are..bad) after I told him how much I love my clear SS ramp!
5 months later
Am I mistaken or did there used to be a Taxi set (not just separates) on the site? I do see the two ramps offered, just didn't know if there was a combo offering for a slight discount like there is for Cyclone. No worries if not. Thanks for continuing to put out these great ramps.
Quoted from lrosent345:Usually, no discount until a set of three or more. Never was a Taxi set.
Thanks for the clarification. Not sure why I thought there had been one, maybe just being hopeful. 
Makes sense there would be one for a 3pc but not a 2pc.

Given the gigantic boxes required for ramps due to the excellent packaging is there any incentive at all in ordering multiple sets simultaneously? Looks like $40 for bad cats / $60 for taxi and $100 together, but I'm not sure it makes things any easier on you to ship two sets in one shipment so I wouldn't expect any break on shipping. I just wanted to confirm before opting for just bad cats for now. Are my assumptions accurate?
Again thanks for all you do, I'm excited to add a few new SF products to my collection!
