I built my locost chassis up (with iron block 2ltr engine in it) on homebase/b&q plastic sawhorse a-frame type trestles that were about a
tenner.
when it got heavier i put the two trestles under the back and my workmate (9.99 b+q) under the front. not had any problems. and i could still climb
into it carefully to sit down and make brum brum noises..

Talkabout Lightweight stands!... As I was building the heavier Viento, I built a trolley / stand out of 75x100x9mm Angle. Mind you it was free
ironwork (very locost) and all I had at the time. It will support most things I want to put on it.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards

im using 3 axle stands, suprisingly quite stable at the mo, the car is practically together,
i did buy 2 clarke trestles but the were way too high and i would of had trouble getting the car off them,
however i would sugest using a builld platform of some sort, like the others have said some cheap trestles or workbenches as the problem of axle
stands is that the car sits too low which will kill your back. even i get a bit of a bad back and im only 23!!

I just knocked up a couple of trestles out of some scrap 4x2 that I found in a skip.....
