I have spent a lot of time crouched under cars using those things.A little body shop I worked for in the late 70's still has two divots in the ceiling from the fins of my 57 Chevy.The Model A balances quite nicely on two of those.The A is narrow,and the shape of the axles tends to want to stay centered on the lift arms.I have put an A on two of those with the axles at eye level,and shook the car as hard as I could.Very stable.I still have one around,but I haven't used it since I got a lift about 25 years ago.They do take up room in a garage though.If I still did rust work it would be living in the garage.
