Awesome H, I own a 1950, unrestored at this point, I'm too busy using it.
I typically am not the one posting safety tips, nor heeding them most of the time, but I have had 2 failures over the years supporting vehicles and one of them was using a cinder block as a jack stand to do some brake work. I was using the block in the correct orientation, but no wood on top, I had the axle tube resting on it, it split and that axle hit the ground with blinding speed, I knew better, have always known better, but never realized just how easily or quickly it happened. I was clear of it when it went, but it has stuck i my mind ever since, I watched it split in that fraction of a second, can still see it.
The other was a jack stand on gravel, gravel appeared to be plenty compacted and flat, it tipped, digging into the gravel and there again, it went so quickly there would have been no getting out of the way, again I wasn't hurt, but appreciate the lesson.
