    Who carrys one? where do you put it?Ive got a 27 Ford coupe , fuel cell in the rumble/trunk. I guess ill put one behind the seat if theres room or move the fuel cell and put one in the trunk.. I guess this is more for the 20's-30's cars.

    Put it on the rear as it would have been originally.

    I'm in the tire business, and I know how little it takes for a flat to ruin your day. I don't leave the driveway without a spare. On my F1, I'm running a full height (not full size) spare under the rear of the bed, which means I have the in cab gas tank. If I had the gas tank under the bed, I'd look into a late model temp spare for behind the seat.

    Running bias tires? Keep a couple extra tubes or a repair kit in the car. It wont help you if the tire explodes, but it'll fix a nail.
