He's growing up. Found his own Shelby. Worked it for 6 years and got it home finally. Now his own account on SAAC Forum! He was just a fifth grader at my side when we started this Forum! Time for him to step his involvement with SAAC as well!

How quickly they grow up

  Way Cool! This is how I found 04052. Air, 4-speed. Mostly original paint.

Crazy Question....... When leaving a Car on Jack Stands, I always put the Front Jack Stands on the Frame Rails by the Torque Boxes and the Rear Jack Stands on the Frame Rails by the front Eye of the Leaf Springs.  I see this Car has the Front Jack Stands on the Frame Rails by the Radiator Support.  Where would you place the Jack Stands if leaving the Car on them for a while?

 I agree. As I said this is the way I found it. No engine in the car at the time so not a whole lot of weight to support. I usually try and place the front stands on the frame close to the lower control arms.

I had mine frame rails by torque boxes and rear axle housing(if still on or front of that on the frame). Or this way on a rotisserie keeping the car on a 90.
