I am going to work on "Queen Vic" saturday, a 1970 Midget. I am going to jack her up with a 4 wheel hydraulic jack and put axle stand under her. WHere is the best place to jack and get her high enough to put the stands under her. Also is there a best place to put the axle stands.
 
Center of rear end and center of front cross member. Use a rag on jack for rear end if you have refinished it and a foot sq peice of plywood if your front crossmenber is not already scared and concave in the center.
 
Hehe, stands gesh I answered for jack. stands at rear under the spring hangers or on axle ends and at the front under the frame or a frames depending what you are doing.
 
go it thanks, took me a minute to figure out who jack was and why you answered for him...hmmm must be friday
