[DeTomaso] Pantera Jeep

[Jim Hendrickson]

Since you will be working on a 50 year old vehicle, I would recommend you
get six point sockets and box end wrenches. Also have a good supply of PB
Blaster on hand.

OK, now that I have your attention!

I am not a mechanic.  I own 24 screwdrivers, 3 hammers, several wire-cutter
pliers, and a barb-wire repair tool.

I have just bought a 1959 Jeep station wagon, that I want to fix up.  Me,
myself.  I have a new garage area, so I have plenty of room.

Two questions:

1.  I need to buy a bunch of tools.  I'm going to stick with Sears Craftsman
- you can buy them anywhere.  Lifetime guarantee.  I'm no "keep up with the
Jones" mechanic.  What recommendations do you have?  Anyone know of a
Craftsman "set" that is perfect for me?  Or, just start buying!

2.  Recommendations on how to do the process, as far as keeping track of
parts.  I had planned on using baggies, markers, maybe photos, etc.  But,
I'm sure that plenty of you have been down this path and have lots of ideas.
Then it dawned on me that I may have a tracking book for one part of the
project (re-doing the window raises, for instance), and then on the same
day, I might work on the front winch (Jeep, remember).  So, it can't be in a
spiral-type book.

Thanks, Bill (an excited 68-year old man) Lewis 

P.S.  BTW, the Jeep was a one-owner from Colorado.  Trailered it home last
night.
