Multiple ways to skin the cat, all with the same result

.
As for the ramps, after I had the car securely on four stands, I slid the ramps under the front tires then had to push them in as far as they could go. Easier said than done and a real bear to remove them at the end of the job. I didn't have any choice though as the car was immobile when I brought it home due to broken flex disk and tailshaft housing.
I have 4 pairs of stands, but my next investment is one pair of the heavy duty cast stands.
