Default Recommendations for a PT toolkit

I have recently acquired a 2001 PT for use as an extra car.

The more I drive it, the more I like it; I certainly understand how they became so popular.

Now I need to put together a toolkit for the inevitable parking lot/roadside repairs.

Did I read elsewhere that this car is a mix of metric and Imperial fasteners? If so, I presume I'll need both metric and Imperial sockets & wrenches.

Also the usual screw drivers, pliers, crescent wrenches, etc.

Also jumper cables & a flashlight or two, latex gloves, coveralls and red rags.

And tools to remove the battery and wire brushes to clean the terminals.

Any other suggestions? Any oddball wrench sizes that may not be in the typical tool kit?

The car uses a bit of oil so I'll keep a couple quarts in the back. So far it doesn't seem to use coolant, brake fluid or trans fluid so I'm not planning on keeping those on board.

What about spare fuses and/or relays? Overkill?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts...
