So this might sound crazy but I'm thinking about trying to make a ramp out of a sheet clear PETG Plastic. My thought was that it would be really cool to be able to stand on the landing-side of the ramp and still see the truck through the clear plastic on approach. Based on my research PETG is pretty durable. I was thinking of also using clear plastic square or rectangle rods as horizontal crossbracing under the ramp surface so it won't block the view and still provide support to the ramp surface. Initially, I was thinking about making the entire frame out of clear plastic but I'm thinking an adjustable metal frame might be better. Has anyone else ever thought of, or tried this? One potential issue would be the slipperiness of the surface, and traction might be an issue limiting the potential for bursting the throttle at takeoff.
Anything else I'm not thinking of here?
