The car looks great on the ground and I am happy to here that the return was easy and that the car didn't fall on you prior to the return.

I had 2 of the recalled Harbor Freight jack-stands. I dropped the Nova on the ground, and went to HF for replacements. Other than waiting in two lines, it wasn't a painful exchange.

Took to a few shots of the car on the ground.

Ha! Yeah, wasn't a problem for me anyway. I got the 6 ton stands for the extra height, with my truck. For the Nova, I don't even extend them, so I probably would have never seen the issue.. with the Nova at least.

I have a set of old Jack stands that are very tall and that is what I use them for also and I own a truck.

Somehow the thought of trusting my life to Harbor Fright jackstands just doesn't seem very appealing...

Love the headers and maybe on version 3.0 of my car I am going to do a 3" Stainless steel exhaust after seeing your headers.
