Jack points Options

[bosurf]

Hey Guys i finally got under my project, and discovered i am missing driver sides rear jack point, it looks like it ripped out, what's weird is that it isn't rusty underneath. Is it easy to weld in??? In the meantime where can I introduce a jackstand on that side that won't crunch vitals?? I am going to get sucked into this real easy I can tell already cause these cars are the *&%$!! No WCC for me this year but next year is In my sights. What goes on there?? Everyone go on drives and swap meet/Car show type gig? Help Me I AM INFLICTED!! ARE YOU!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

Is it easy to weld in...

Can you weld? Or just join two pieces of metal together...

The "jack points" being on the side of the car? or under the floorpan... YOu shouldnt jack up the car on the side of the car unless its an emergency on the side of the road... Use the "donut" holes. as they are the strongest part for jacking. One on the outside corner of each floorpan.. Use a piece of wood inbetween the jack, and the donut Expect the wood to crack... in half is fine.. Its just protecting the floopan around the donut.

FYI alternative jack stand points are trailing arm ( tubular spot, between the two pickup points) for the rear, and A arm pick up points on either side. (for jacking up mainly.. use jack stands on the donut holes)

Also, if engine and trani are in, 2x4 or 2x8 under trani with jack will lift the rear end just fine. 2x4 distributes load weight of car over entire trani instead of on 2 fins.
