Listen up guys, this thing is not finished yet. Brian let it's existance slip out so I had to prove there was really something happening here. I would like to show you all the details, but I will refrain until it is completely done.

I plan to install lights on the bottom of the rack so even though the bus taillights are somewhat hidden, there will be no problem with traffic behind. It is not wider than the bus.

The lift is carefully designed so the car nestles up close to the back of the bus to minimize the overhang. Overhang is ONLY 5 feet! Pull two uplock safety pins, release the car tie downs, push a button so the car lets down to the ground by a parrallelogram linkage which sets it down about 2 feet further back. Flip out the attached ramps and drive the car off. Loading is the reverse.

Installation of the rack requires only 2 half inch holes drilled in the bus body into the frame, I had them covered with a piece of tape at POG 2, nobody noticed. And if the car is not on there, you can flip the outer ramp up by hand so the whole thing only hangs out 1 foot on the back of the bus.

There is no effect on the bus framework, you can still unbolt the bumper to remove the engine should that be necessary some day. There is no welding on the bus at all.

Let me know if I should get a patent and then build some more to sell to all you bling guys. About $100,000 each would make me happy.
