open the doors all the way, then place the jacks under the end of the doors -> you should get great results in almost no time at all...

I think it's rather obvious visually. There're little brackets on either side of the jack points. Don't listen to me, though, since I'm no expert in this area.

Charlie,
See https://www.s2ki.com/faqs/faq_jack.php for floor jack instructions. I don't have anything on the jack stands.

Hey Chuckles, I know the standard jacking points under the car, but with as many times I have put Scarlet up on jacks, I don't think I have ever used them. I just use anywhere under there that is near the corner that I am lifting that is pat of the frame. I don't think using the stock jacking points is necessarily a BAD idea, but I would never use them for jackstands. Do you have a hydraulic jack? That's the safest and surest way to get the car in the air. The frame is fairly obvious...if my car was in the air, I'd post some pics for you!

If you can find the stock points, do that, but otherwise I have used just about any part of the frame to put jackstands under...

HTH!
