Undercarriage question

caterina.doroff 20 years ago

Hello - Any advice would be appreciated.

I have a 1969 camaro that I was lucky enough to aquire from south carolina. I was going to start with a very good powerwashing of the undercarriage and apply a chassis black paint.

My question is : I am not even remotely close to affording a professional lifting system. I have to use jack stands, service jack. With safety in mind what type of jack stands would give the best clearance ?? Would I be better off raising the car all at once ( with 4 jack stands ). Or do the front and back seperately ... on 2 jack stands ? It would really make me happy to get this done & not get killed along the way. Thanks

Best regards, snipped-for-privacy@balcanicsoft.com snipped-for-privacy@bankarea.com

your not going to get a very good paint job on jack stands. I would recomend taking it to a professional or taking the body off of the frame if you can. Are you using spray cans, or a spray gun? Also, why are you doing this? Are you trying to remove rust? If so, I wouldn't wast my time trying to paint over rust with some spray cans, that's a loosing battle.

You have just been caught by a troll. Check other auto groups, this person has multiple postings with different questions looking for people to click on their links. Someone else pointed it out in another group.
