I hope to be embarking on this task in the not too distant future. Some years 
back I saw an article in a britcar mag about the resto of Michael Salters 100S. 
There was a photo of the chassis attop 2 level, parrallel beams  directly below 
the chassis rails. A picture being worth 1000 words, this was an aha moment.
When visiting Fourintune a few years back I was given a demonstration of how 
the parrallel beams are used for door gap adjustment. By placing a piece of 
timber between the chassis rails and the level parrallel beams and 
perpendicular to them, in the areas that Rich has described for jackstands, one 
can make gap adjustment by moving the timbers fore or aft. Looked really simple 
when done by Mr Kovacs. I have some 2x4x1/4 box steel tubing that I will use 
for the beams.
Best
