All of my spare parts fit in the RH cargo compartment with the storage bin removed. I had a belt, water pump, TECH-1, FSMs, 2 cans of R134 and a charge hose, fuel pump, and some of the tools that I didn't want in my kit I carried in the cargo compartment. I only went in there once for the roll of duct tape to wrap the blown hose to get me to the store.


Thanks for reading.

This list of spares serves as a good reference for anyone looking to do the same in the future.

Hats off to BOTH of you guys for Taking on the challenge of actually DRIVING your cars to compete for the award. A LONG ways I might add. Hell, your total mileage exceeded my mile son my 91' when I towed it to be NCRS judged. ( mostly because I'm lazy, I didnt want to have to clean it once I got there).

It definately proves how bullet proof the LT5 is. 30+ year old rubber and external engine bearings are consumables in my book. its just a matter of when I guess.
