This is the first of what I am sure will be many questions I'll have for the forum. I have been lurking awhile but this is my first post.

I recently picked up a 75 911s project car. I don't have a lot of mechanical experience but my plan is to do most of the work on the car myself. The first project will be to overhaul the brakes (rebuild calipers, stainless steel lines, new master cylinder, and rebuild the pedal cluster).

My question may be idiotic but I have never put a car on jack stands before. I have read the chapter in 101 projects about jacking up the car but I am wondering if it is OK to put the 911 on 4 jack stands (so the entire car is off the ground) at once. Is this too unstable? Or does the weight of the care keep it pretty well seated? I don't want to be the subject of the next Darwin awards email.

Thanks in advance for not flaming me too badly.
