Thank you! You have a good eye; I lowered the car down a bit for this pic, and then raised back it up into the locked position.

Thanks! 104 linear feet, to be exact. I think I deserve extra credit for making all the cuts with a handsaw.

If you haven't already, next time you pull them out, I would glue or staple some rubber pieces on your bottom 2"×4"s on all 4 stacks...this will give them good anti-slide characteristics, along with keeping the wood away from direct contact with moisture and fluids!!! Might as well stain and clear them while you're at it !!! Even though it's a "simple" project, it's refreshing to see that you took pride in making them and did it right!!! Excellent job, I wouldn't hesitate to do any kind of work under those, that vette isn't going anywhere👍
Thank you. Good idea on creating some sort of anti-slip method. The QuickJacks don't like to lower without the weight of a vehicle on them, although if I wanted them out of the way with the car sitting up on the cribs, I think I could figure something out. I thought about applying some clear stain, but I don't want them so pretty that I'm reluctant to use them! I lost count of how many 10 x 2-1/2" deck screws I used to put these things together, but, yeah, they're pretty stout.
