Yes for Kirkham also. The suspension is really rigid on these cars so the wheels lift when you jack them up.

I typically jack up one side, or end, and then support it with jack stands. When I was building the car I was under the rear working on the fuel lines. I didn't notice that one of the front tires was slightly off the ground. When I was threading one of the lines through I pushed up in the rear and the car pivoted down onto the wheel that was up slightly! Scared the heck out of me! Being balanced nearly 50/50 also makes life interesting.

Anytime I lift the car I make sure that it's down on four points. Helps keep the underwear clean...
