Go to www.corvettegadgetman.com and buy one of these:
It fits between the exhaust pipes so that the pumpkin sits right on the rubber pad that is glued to the top of the device. It works like a charm. Gets her up off the ground real nice: |

I just bought four 12 ton jack stands and I am ready to lift it up and was wondering the best way myself. The price seems reasonable. Are there other alternatives I might use until it arrives? :me2:

Are there other alternatives I might use until it arrives? :me2: There are jack points (as shown in the FSM) about 6 inches behind the " jacking location" mark on the pinchweld. This is right behind where the storage compartment floorboard stops. It works ok but you're still jacking up the car side to side which I've done many times but, I still don't like to do it. It's also best to ust the rubber pad adapter here. I also jack the front end up first, using 2, 2x10's and jacking from the center, before I put the rear up. I am going to get one of the gadgetman's things or build one thourgh. |

I use the Jack-A-Vette which is the same thing as the Gadgetman device, or I place a 2 x 8 under the spare tire and jack from there,

The jack stands had been recommended on DC and I have seen them used on all the hot rod shows so I got them, they go up to 31" and are huge, very stable. I crawled under there today and I also have the tin running between the pipes, right in the way.
