Kent, are you telling me that my car once had fender lips? I think that
you're just pulling my leg!

Where should I put the stands once I remove the rear suspension?

Take a 4 x 4 post and run it through where the rear axle was... make sure it
is long enough to stick outside the wheel wells on both sides.
You can add pieces of wood between the post and the bottom of the axle hump
if you want to take up space if you don't want the post to contact the
fender lips. The fender lips are strong enough to support the stripped car
without bending unless they are really rusty. Put your jack stands on the
outside on each side of the car. Watch out that you don't jam your
knees/ankles on them! You can make it any height that you want by putting
cinder block (or whatever) under each side of the post. That way you'll have
plenty of room for a creeper underneath.
