Getting the 'Cuda ready for storage...

[ramenth]

...outdoor storage at that. Forces beyond our control forced us to move the car in a hurry many moons ago. Now devoting time to at least do it right. It's gonna have to sit outside with no side window weatherstripping in it, so before it goes under the tarp I got up to a buddy of mine's place today and stripped the interior out. From previously sitting the carpet is crap now. Some weather damage. Floors are still good. But the seats are nice and dry, still clean, undamaged, and now sitting in my truck, ready to go into my garage rafters for the time being!

Pull some body plugs out so water can drane out if it does get in there and spraying stuff (like the floors) you don't want rusted up with WD-40 helps.

Great idea. Hadn't thought of that!

Fuel in the tank? Sta-bil

Engine hasn't been in it since it was pulled before we bought the car. Pop struck a deal with the previous owner: knock $300 off and keep the 318/904. So minus engine and trans the car was $300.00. Fuel tank is empty. But thanks for the reminders. I've got a few with engines that will be over winter storage until spring when the weather warms up: Pop's '54 Ford, Jamison's Cordoba, and a few others.
