Not sure you should drop it onto sills for the axle stands. May not be a good idea.
Trolley jack under the centre then find something structural to rest on .
I don't have my custom made axle stands any more or you could have borrowed them.
They consisted of 4 old steel rims, industrial pipe upstands with holes drilled in them and a bit of 2x2 angle iron on the top. Made them myself.
Worked very well to restore floor pans and A pillars etc.
Cars worked on :-
1959 Wolslesy 1590
Triumph Herald
Mk 2 Jag ( that was fun. Open the doors the whole car sagged !!!. Sills did not exist! )
Triumph Spitfire
Holden HR Kingswood. ( complete new floor )
1970 Dodge Challenger R/T. (My own baby. others where for other people)
Never had an issue even lifting the whole car 2 foot off the ground. Takes time but patience is a virtue.
