Scott Fisher writes a good list of required tools for MGB owners.  It looks
like a good general list to me.  I will be looking for a rechargable
ratchet.  I didn't realize that they had enough power to remove things like
exhaust nuts.

I would add one item.  I used to teach chemistry and still have several
*cheap* lab coats.  I can thing of several good reasons to use them:

           1.  The expected one - it keeps your clothes clean.

           2.  It keeps my wife happy (see #1 above  You can wash it
           with the shop rags to make a nice load.  Add Goop or other
           degreaser and they come clean without effecting anything else.)

           3.  It impresses the neighbors  (Well those that know LBC's are
           not taken in)

           4.  I don't race but I suppect that it is like putting on a
           helmet.  I put the coat on and I am ready to work.

           5.  My attitude changes to more professional.  I don't tend to
           just rip and tear, but think about what ever problem presents
           it's self.

I would guess that they could be found at uniform stores.  Sears probably
has more expensive ones.
