Thanks guys. I did add some bracing that "sorta" connected the front jack stand points to the roll cage. The area I welded this to is basically the front connection point for the subframe and I added an additional 1/8" plate to distribute the load so it was carrying the load as close to being connected to the subframe/roll bar as possible. I didn't take great pictures of this process but essentially I cut through the floor to expose the backside of the subframe mounting plate (there is a hollow area here). My 1/8" plate is welded directly on top of that mounting plate. I then hand fabbed some 3/16" steel into a box and welded it to the plate, the floor and then finally to the roll bar. The stronger approach would have been to run a roll bar directly from the front roll cage bar straight down to this point but it would have not allowed for any room for my left foot next to the clutch and I think that would have been very uncomfortable while driving. Compromise but I think I reinforced this area enough that it should be more than strong enough to support the car on stands/lift.

The rear point is essentially directly connected to the rear frame through the lower 4 link connection point. I believe this should be very strong and easily support the rear while on stands/lift. I have put it back on the lift using these points, albeit just the body, and all worked great.

All of this is a bit of added weight but less than 10lbs total and I think the added functionality is worth it.

I've had the door bars sitting on the shelf for a couple years thinking I would help my old bones from having to crawl over them 7 bazillion times but decided it was time to cross this off the to-do list. I did save about 3 bazillion trips...!

Silly detail here but this stamped cowl support flexes quite a bit at the bottom because the factory didn't leave enough of a lip. I added a few small pieces of metal and then just a little fun with the dimple die.
