i had to run all over town to find a torque wrench and want to finish the exhaust swap in the morning, are the frames sturdy to leave the car like this overnight? thanks

I can't see where EXACTLY those jackstands are, but I think you'll be ok. Just make sure the carvisnt wobbling and the wheels are chocked, e brake set, you know the drill.

They should be okay, get something under your wheels though to relieve some stress.

Place some 2x4's underneath each wheel to distribute the load. Also, that floor jack would be good "just in case".

you don't need to put any 2x4's under the wheels................the cars were engineered to be jacked up. cars have been put on jackstands like yours and in the same positions for the 40 years that i have been working on them.
