Don't have a problem using the jack but don't want to use the tire tool on my brand new chrome lug nuts.

One of the great things about this body style is a hugh trunk! I haven't had to use my spare yet, but it doesn't match the wheels I currently have on the car in appearance, but the important thing is it does match in size. I carry a restored jack and have a cover over it, but I also carry smaller scissor jack so I don't have to use the bumper jack and a four way! No body has every looked under the cover at a show

My goodness, guys: by the time you're done he may as well set his Craftsman roll-around toolbox back there....

....good thing these cars have such huge trunks!

I have Cragars. Therefore this is what I carry at all times.

I was gonna suggest an impact gun and an air tank but.......Where would he get the power??
