rear end you can just go right on the housing.

for the fronts, theres part of a frame rail directly behind the wheel well that you can use.

thats what ive been using on my '65 vert. I tend to put the jack a little further back so that when i put the stand under it its closer to the wheel well then the jack.

rear end just put the stands on the axle housings by the leaf springs

Have a front cross member that you can put jack on if you want to get both wheels in air same time.

im not in the teen years although im not that far from it. im only 23, theres some posts in a topic i started with some pictures of the car.

only reason i have the stang though is its been in the family since 1972 and only has 29k original miles and ive liked it and gma wanted it to stay in the family so i bought it.
