Dave, I really admire what you've done so far.

How did you get the car high enough to paint underneath ? :?
Or did you have a trick to painting under the car.

Did you just use the jack stands ?
Do they go that high ?
How high ?

painting under the car wasn't that hard. the only problem is what goes up must come down. i got covered in the stuff.
