I bought my first Vette (a '73) this past Summer. This makes this my first winter of having to store it. My plan is to store it in my garage. I am looking for some general tips for storage that folks have learned from experience. Anything would be helpful. I imagine it'll be about 3 months before the weather will cooperate with bring it out again.
Let me know and "thanks" for the help.

I keep a sheet of plastic on the floor to keep the moisture out,add Stabil and Dry Gas to a full gas tank and run the engine long enough to get them through the fuel system, place dryer sheets inside,all over the place (you know,the sheets you throw into the dryer with your clothes) to help keep out the varmints,battery tender trickle charger to keep up the battery,and if it gets extremely cold I turn on the magnetic block heater on the engine to help keep it cozy,but only if I plan to start it up the next day which I do occasionally.Pump the brakes every few days to prevent the calipers from leaking if you have the original style calipers.By the way I got most of the tips right here on the forum.Hopefully some more advice will follow mine and I can learn some more too!
