I hope to be embarking on this task in the not too distant future. Some years back I saw an article in a britcar mag about the resto of Michael Salters 100S. There was a photo of the chassis attop 2 level, parrallel beams  directly below the chassis rails. A picture being worth 1000 words, this was an aha moment.
When visiting Fourintune a few years back I was given a demonstration of how the parrallel beams are used for door gap adjustment. By placing a piece of timber between the chassis rails and the level parrallel beams and perpendicular to them, in the areas that Rich has described for jackstands, one can make gap adjustment by moving the timbers fore or aft. Looked really simple when done by Mr Kovacs. I have some 2x4x1/4 box steel tubing that I will use for the beams.
