Hi, I Searched on this topic and didt see anything on the Verts'.

im about to put the stock Wheels back on for Winter Storage, and need to be sure i wont bend/twist my Vert when Jacking it.

Previous owner just used the Trolley kack on the jacking points with no adverse effects.

every one Agree?

Jack at the jacking points and you will be fine.

Thanks

Please note:

- If you are jacking the car on the pinch seam jack points that run along the bottom of the doors, be sure to check that the jack does NOT touch the fuel lines on the passenger's side and the brake lines on the driver's side. The lines run just inside the jack point and it is possible to have a "dished" jack pad crimp or crush the brake/fuel lines.

You have a cross member brace, I always use the edge of the brace to jack up my car.

If I am jacking up the front I always run the front tires up on a couple of 2 X 10's then I use my jack under the engine cradle....For the back
I fabricated a Jack-a-Vette fits under the pumpkin and between the exhaust pipes........My delima is where to put the Jack stands!!! Any suggestions???????????

Jackstands under the frame out of your way.

So that seam is really supposed to support the car, I don't have to worry about it bending over or cracking off?

I think the seam might bent if you use flat jacking surface, I think it was designed for the emergency jack that has a notch and uses more surface than just a seam.

I'm using ends of the X brace (convertible) just before it goes up to the bolts.

So why did they go to so much trouble to show the jacking points on the rocker panel under the doors if it would bend the frame?

If you locate the jack just right, you can get 3 wheels off the ground at the same time...that's strong.

I jacked it up many times, both wheels, almost as high as it would go. That was with a 3 ton floor jack with the round flat piece at the top. No bending at all. It's much stronger than the x-brace. Last time I had the x-brace off I was able to bend the edges straight with a good pliers.

I'd trust a jack and stands any day, over most ramps. I use one or two extra sets of stands and leave the jack under for redundancy and added saftey.
