I never did think about the t-tops, doors, and hood when jacking the car up. Thanks to all.

This is a must.. I had a cheap set of stands collapse under the weight of a 64 galaxie.. my tool box was halfway under the car and saved me... it crushed the box to about half its size, but all I got was a scar on my leg..
i like the craftsman professional stands.. if youre a memeber of their tool club you can usually find them on sale with a good jack..
a sale just ended friday for a 3.5 ton jack, two stands, and a free rolling stool for 100$, damn good deal..
