No, but that's a good (or should I say 'neat' as it's American!) idea ;)

Unless you happen to have a really narrow garage like most Brits. LOL

It does look good though.

Certainly helps to spread the load with your rusty sills

Personally I'd never lift a car, especially an older one on one or more jacking points, irrespective of how good the sills are. I ALWAYS jack on the suspension mounts when I lift mine.

Great idea, Jim my lifting points are solid, BTW you can replace the jack point inserts .
