Okay, I just got a 92' Talon shell and I'm going to be doing some underbody work and removing the complete rear diff and suspension. Does someone have a picture of the underside of the car that can point out the jack stand points in each of the 4 corners? I'm going to raise it up on all 4's for a while. I took a look at the pinch welds where some people have suggested but it doesn't look like there's a whole lot of surface area and they appear to have bent in some locations from the previous owner.

Are there other spots that I can get this thing up? I noticed a semi flat area at each corner the front flat areas have two holes in them and in the rear there's one nickel sized hole on the flat area, are these good places to place it? Again, any pictures would be extremely helpful!

Thanks

Edit: I attached a picture for points on the front end, the blue square was the area I was referencing, the red circles are a previous user on the forum who was asking if those were good points.

I used the pinch weld spots for 20 years. It's easy, convenience and far enough back on the front to get the car up high.

I guess I'm just worried about the pinch welds bending, I'm going to be under the car doing a lot of work I'm concerned about safety and there are sections of the welds that are bent from the previous owner.
 
Pinch welds are fine. I put cars on lifts every day and use the pinch welds. My car was on them for a full winter as I pulled both subframes and painted my under body. I would only be concerned if they were rusted out. If that were the case I would look to the subframe, near a mounting point since the body is sitting on that.
