Thanks a lot Dennis for you kind words, I appreciate that. I'm no expert at this and I haven't done things the "BEST" way but I have tried to do them in a way that would keep the project from totally stalling and as I could afford to do them.

I'm not sure about how the actual height I lifted the car. I'm 5'10" so the photo can give you some idea of how high I had to lift it. The rear wheels were still on the garage floor and I did it with the whole car still in my garage. I think I had the gas tank and rear valance out though but don't remember if that made a difference or not. I do not have extra high ceilings in my garage and you will also notice that the garage door is up. So I as able to do it without hitting the open garage door above the car too. So, the non percise answer would be....Not very high.
