    Store mine at first Snowflake. I put down tarp, (don’t have to now because of epoxy floor finish) and put carpet under all wheels and cover. Clean and do oil change prior to storing. Also put battery tender on it. Oh ya...forgot stabilizer and Shell premium fuel.

    Probably this weekend. I do a mix of what Laffs does, and what RedSN does.

    - Drive the car to my nearest gas station, full tank of fuel and the proper amount of stabilizer in the tank and drive home
    - Give the car and through cleaning in and out, making sure to clean the underside and wheel wells as best I can
    - Full interior vacuum and remove everything from interior and trunk
    - Lube all the seals and weather stripping up
    - Check all my tires and pump them all up about 4psi over where I normally would run them
    - Drive it in my garage which I've covered the floor with poly vapour barrier and 1" foam pads under each wheel
    - Park it with the ebrake off and wheels chocked
    - I leave my windows down just a crack and my convertible top down but not latched so I don't flatted the seals
    - Bounce sheets in the interior to keep any critters away and keep interior smelling fresh
    - Steel wool in the tail pipes to keep any critters out
    - Pull the cover over it
    - Don't start it or touch it until spring

    In the spring when I go to take it out I undo the last few steps, pull the fuel pump fuse and crank it for 15 seconds to build oil pressure then start it and let it idle. Drive it slowly and gingerly to burn off the stabilized fuel, put in new premium and change the oil, start rippin.
    Dude your intense. I was going to just cover the floor with cardboard and jack the car on stands and let the suspension hang. Put 94 with stabilizer clean inside and out put battery and cover. Also would you recommend paint correction now or spring ?

    I've never been accused of not being intense so ya, accurate.

    If you were going to do a full paint correct I'd wait till spring just in case the cover scuffs it or something bumps it in the winter. Also I'd go buy a roll of cheap poly vapour barrier over cardboard. Cardboard will still suck up moisture which is what you're try to prevent. Also I personally think jackstands is worse than leaving on wheels having the weight hang on all your suspension components unless you put stands under control arms/rear axle.

    I let the weather tell me when.

    I see lots of good advice above. I remove the battery, put it in the basement on a trickle charger. Other than that, stabilizer with a full tank, tires over inflated and on foam.

    I am stealing the bounce sheets idea for sure!!!

    I was told to let everything hang to release weight
