Don,
I'm taking a slightly different approach to losing the jack stands. Using two
(3000 LB-rated) air-powered hydraulic front/rear end jacks with sleeved
channel beams locked in place between them, I can safely lift and lock the car
3'
in the air. Two adjustable supports on each side are strategically placed under
the frame.
I already had the lifts, but didn't want to use them to directly lift the
front and rear. This method lifts from the exact points selected on the frame.
I'm repairing a valve on one of the jacks and will then be ready to source the
channel beams.
If you already have a compressor, the whole setup will run just under $1,000.
I'm guessing that's far less than a scissor lift.
