Indeed, I've done a lot of lifting on my old project car, but a nearly 40 year old project car doesn't hold the same sense of terror as working on a brand new car that isn't paid off yet lol.

This forum is really a home for me now, just as thirdgen.org has been for many moons.

I have full faith in our abilities!

I'm assuming you're referring to these?

A set of those would run me about the same as the secondary Jack I was looking at.

Do you lift one side at a time and set them under the lift pads? How does it look when you lower one side onto the pads?
