I'm sure I didn't describe what I mean well. A ways inboard from the
rocker panel jacking point is sort of a protuding square bar that runs
longtitudinally, and is double-thickness at the north and south ends.

Once I jack the car up from the rocker panel, my plan is to lie down
alongside the car, reach underneath and place a jack stand under this
section, then lower the car back down onto it.

Something like this occurred to me, but the front of the car is pretty
low to the ground. Seems like to get a jack on the right spot and
have enough clearance to use it may require some pre-raising of the
front end. I guess a couple 2x4s might do it, or ramps.

Yeah, when I actually do it (I think I'll get a slotted jack pad
first) I'll be getting down low--bought a creeper yesterday. Just was
curious if those were roughly the locations. Damn that cladding.

Gotcha. If Rich says they're safe, I'm sure they are.

Only for 37 years. The secret to a long, successful marriage: give in
early and often. Groveling isn't strictly necessary...but it couldn't
hurt.
