I have one of those low profile aluminum racing jacks. It works quite well.

You start off by jacking up the front, slipping the jack under the car from behind the front driver wheel and then positioning the jack under the forward center cross member of the frame. I protect the powder coat with a piece of 2 x 4.

Once you jack the front up you can slip two jack stands on the front of the frame (just in front of the pedal box). Then you move the jack to the rear and lift the rear up and put the jackstands near the rear of the frame.

I think the manual outlines the lift points and jackstand points.
Just be careful not to crush the pedal box with a jackstand.

When will the car arrive?

Did you get to test drive it?
