Dont know where this one came from, but it was sent to me
by Brent Jenkins, also of San Diego.

Engine Stand:   That contraption in the corner that waits years for you to
take the engine out of the LBC.

Jack Stand:  This is your buddy who loves to stand around and critique your
restoration ...you know, the guy who never does any of his own mechanical
work.

Fender Cover:  That old moving blanket over in the corner....outside.

Adjustable Work Light:  That light that works fine till you need it in a
tight spot...

Torque Wrench:  A finely calibrated device used to let you know what measure
of foot pounds you just applied to that bolt you just sheared off.     Also
the appropriate tool to chase Jack with when you're really torqued off.

Clutch Alignment Tool: The tool you swear you'll buy "next time"

Bead Blaster Machine:  That large box in the corner in which you spend more
time in than your LBC.

Pry Bar:  The local pub where you pry "one last restoration favor" from your
local auto mechanic.  Also "the 'ol stand by" ....when you don't have the
correct tool.

Parts Bin:  The bucket of junk that never belonged on the car.

Feeler Gauge: Used to check your bank account when you're half way through
your LBC restoration.
