If you jack the car up by the donuts - where do you put the jackstands???

I just lift the front of the car, have my wife place the front jackstands, then do the same for the rear. The hardest part is finding a place to grab onto that doesn't hurt your hands. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

thanks for the responses, all!

- yes my 30+ year old jack points are in good condition: but thanks for the heads-up, that could be a disaster for those who are unaware.
- yes I wanted to be able to lift the car & put jackstands under both front/rear corner "donut" lift points: I've been lifting the car using the rear donut-point but even with the ass-end raised way high up (..the CAR's) it's still not high enough to put a jackstand under the front pt.
- no I don't have a welding machine but that was also a good suggestion.

AH: found it: The correct term for this item is "jack pad":
automotion.com
pelicanparts.com
-- going by the pictures alone, automotion's looked a little nicer. FWIW

thanks again everyone! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)

What if your suspension is all purdy powdercoated?

Wonder if that Plasti-Dip stuff would stick to jack stands good enough?
