Nice job very smooth. Is it just the weight of the door that lets it open

Wolf,

How will the car get down from the hump of the axle placement to the ramp?

I'd use a secondary ramp; it'd be hinged to the aft end of the axle hump, and just slides on the back door (or run on guides at the outer edges) When fully up, it is as high as the back door, and when down, would give you a decent slope to roll the car down on.

If you wanted a bit more 'pull' on the ramp(s) you could put a small spring on the hinge, so the spring releases when the door is opened, and is tensioned when its drawn up. Thats IF you find you need one... with the dual-ramp idea, you may not need it.
