      When I had my Nova in the air I used four and sometimes six heavy jack stands. I believe they are rated at six tons each. They extended high enough to give me about two feet of room underneath. To get it that high, I jacked it up as far as the jack would go (front and rear). I then used a piece of 6"x8" landscaping rail or tie as a spacer on the jack. Make sure everything is well centered and balanced before you start jacking with the lumber spacer.
      This gave me enough room to pull the sub frame, weld in front floor panels, and clean and paint the floor.
      To drop the subframe, I used my engine hoist to support it while I pulled the mount bolts. Once the bolts were out, I lowered the sub. onto its wheels and rolled it out.

      If there is a hard way to do something, I'll find it!
