I had my '72 on jackstands at the t-bar covers,

and was feeling lazy.

I wanted to replace my leaky paper lower valve cover gaskets with some Silicone ones, without draining the oil.

So, I lowered the car on one side to change the 'high side.' No problem!

Jacked back up, lowered the other side,

and the car slipped off the jackstand, and

slammed the jackstand into my freshly repainted 1972 oil tank,

making a 3" ding right by the drain plug.
