You might even want extra pickup points in the door areas just for a little extra stress relief.

I can sketch you up something if I am not explaining it very well.
Terry, I was sort of thinking about making a spreader type rectangular lifting frame and picking from a central point. My problem with that would be finding balance center for the 4 lifting points at the fenders. I'm trying not to redesign the wheel, and make the real project working on the car. Maybe you could whip me up a little cartoon drawing of what your thinking?

Thanks John
