Your looking at a project thats probably going to take 6 months minimum if you are doing it on your off time. Might as well set up for the long haul. Heck, 4 piers of cinderblocks 2 blocks high with 4x4's would work so long as you have a good stable work platform with lots of straight andeven support you'll be good. Set up as low to the ground as possible is recommended because you will be climbing in and out 100's of times. I've ripped the crotch out of at least 3 pair of jeans.

Very good point. Heck i would just set the bottom on some 2x? lumber laid flat. My V20 is on a cinder block topped with a 2x6 in the rear and a stack 3 cinder blocks high up front so it drains. I can step right into the splashwell at that height. Of course this is just for bottom paint stripping. (yeah i know its been three months) Once i get ready to remove the liner for the bracket build, it will be in the garage on 6x6s.
Dont cut your floor. Just pop the cap. In my opinion its easier to pop the cap then repair the floor.
