Welded Lift Pads onto an SC

Has anyone ever wanted to, or actually did, weld some lift pads onto the bottom of the car, similar to what the 993 and later 911s have?

I just hate the process of supporting the car on the torsion tubes at the rear and the welded seams at the front. There has got to be a better way. Everytime the SC goes up in the air, a large knot forms in my stomach and throat.

My only other concern is that in order to weld, we'd have to remove some undercoating.

At least when I change tires for Drivers' Ed I can use the floor jack and lift one entire side, thus changing front and rears. And since my '83 SC has no rust or body damage, lifting on the side is relatively painless (at least I don't get those knots in my body).

Any creative solutions?
