    When are you guys storing your rides?

    Well, it will be almost 40 tomorrow. I was planning for end of October and pull the drivetrain out. I want to upgrade the heads/cam on the 302 and clean things up after 5 years.

    Hi Steve, end of October to mid November. I'm planning on doing the same. Engine bay needs a good detailing with the motor out.

    Question. Do you guys change the oil prior to storage or after?

    Unless the oil is due for a change, I was told to change it in the spring after storage.

    Usually put mine away in November.....pending the weather situation.

    As for the oil change, I use synthetic 5W-50 in mine and change it once a season. I don't put much mileage on the car and the oil analysis tests show its fine.

    Insurance comes of my 08 October 1st. Personally I prefer to do an oil change before storage.

    Weather will dictate when Orange Fury takes her nap.

    My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my car and parts for what I told her they cost!

    This is how I store mine, everyone has a slightly different ritual but this is what I do.

    - If the oil is due for a change, change it. If its got under 3000kms or 8 months on it I wait till spring
    - 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.
