No lift solution.
So I don't have a lift,but I do have a boat hoist. This worked great.The straps just loop around a wheel spoke and lifts the light vette like nothing.The straps don't contact the body at all.

Using tools for purposes they weren't designed for can be hazardous - this looks like a accident waiting to happen. I wouldn't even consider sliding a jack stand under that rig.

It is sitting on 4- 6 ton stands. I just used the boat hoists to lift the car up.Sorry,I should have clarified that. The point was that it was an easier way to lift the whole car compared to using jacks and the potential slipping issues with that method.

Burning Brakes
Actually that looks pretty stable. I would never have thought that you could do that without damaging the car. I agree on the jack stands, though.
