Everyone has already suggested what I can think of about the fuel thing. As for the required tools Aircraft spruce and Aircraft tool both carry the safety wire and pliers. I would suggest getting the kind of pliers with the auto return spring and using at least .032 or .040 stainless wire. The lead hammer (wire and pliers too) can be found at Finish Line. They advertise on the forum.

Here is my unsolicited .02 worth about lead hammers and how to use them. Do not use the lead hammer to install the spinner. Use a dead blow hammer for instalation. Use the lead hammer or dead blow for removal. Don't keep wacking the same ear either. Hit one, then the next etc. etc. When putting the spinner on, keep going until the spinner stops moving then stop, don't keep beating the crap out of it. Congrats on the car, enjoy the summer.
