I am planing on running drag radials tonight. I can not see any place to jack up the rear of the car with the belly pan on. Thank's for your help. Kurt
Does any one know a safe rear jack spot

Quick jack point
I use a piece of hard wood glued inside the floor jack pad W/ silicone.
So the points of the steel pad do not dent the belly pan.
Then from the side of the car. straight down below the Door lock.
Looking at the belly pan you will see a row of pan head fasteners. running from the sill toward the center of the car.
If you place your protected jack on this row of fasteners.
You can lift the entire side of the car. Allowing you to change both front and rear tires. The fasteners I am calling out are screwed into a large aluminum extrusion frame member. That Just happens to be in the right spot for field service.
Do not forget jack stands, placed under the cutouts in the belly pan.
There 2 in the front and 2 more in the rear. To find them, look for exposed sections of cast frame nodes with a hole in them. Used for frame fixturing at the build. :thumbsup
