Fresh oil change, new filter.
Full tank of gas with stabilizer.
Battery out, on a tender/minder device.
Tires on "cradles."
Car is in a capsule in a 55 degree insulated, heated garage.
Monthly pest control.
Think it'll make it?

(IMG:http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2333/1865156580_2a4b78e5da_m.jpg) Attach the fan and plug it in

(IMG:http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2150/1864390903_a17bc375f8_m.jpg) Looks like a Jiffy Pop popcorn blowing up.
(IMG:http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2350/1865246520_71d8630252_m.jpg) What can I say? It's easy taking tons of digital photos!
(IMG:http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2002/1865283022_d8191a733e_m.jpg) All blown up. Time to undo the red zipper tags in the front on the bottom and add a 914.
(IMG:http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2346/1865291508_e29ba63cf8_m.jpg) But first a set of 4 tire cradles. Hopefully no flat spots during the next 5 months.
(IMG:http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2359/1865313244_e294fdcd7e_m.jpg) Apparently no other cover necessary.
(IMG:http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2403/1865325510_e16456dcee_m.jpg) Gotta watch the antenna doesn't poke through.
(IMG:http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2399/1865336826_b07814ea23.jpg) Fully inflated. Hopefully it'll start in the spring!
