With a garage like the one I have, I probably could use all the help I can get.

Don't worry, the body was only in that position for a brief period of time. Its in a more sturdy position now.

Oh yeah, the pile of crap under the car is old stuff that I haven't gotten around to getting rid of yet. Carb, stock exhaust manifolds,...

The Racedeck tiles will not stain from oil or any fluids, but I wouldn't use jack stands without something underneath them. As far as welding spatter, I think that would leave burn marks because the tiles are polypropylene plastic.
