I concur with everything that Warren said. I would add, though, that it might be "nicer" to glue some old tire tube, cut to fit, on your jack stands; use rubber cement on both the tube and the stand, and wait for both the tube and the stand to dry, then bond them together. This way there is no chance of the canvas strips from "sliding" off, and the rubber tubes are always there, attached to the stands. And they may be kinder to your undercoating.
Warren is also right about using the jack plates for lifting the car; when you lift the entire side using these jacking points, the car is sitting on only three points (the two jack stands on the other side, and the one point of the lifting jack). This is a very precarious position, and you should do this very carefully, very slowly, with no children, pets, wives, or anyone in the vacinity.
Keep thinking of the worst case scenario as you do things, and you should be as safe as you can..........Andras
