My 6 month storage plan for my 1965 Mustang Fastback.

1st: Using a bucket of soapy water and clear water - Wash.
Then, dry after clear water rinse is applied.
2nd: Wax the car.
3rd: Wash the car cover.
4th: Sweep out the parking place.
5th: Put large plastic tarp over the concrete floor - it acts as a vapor
barrier, it keeps the moisture away.
6th: 1 month prior to storage, change the oil and filter change.
7th: Grease the fittings.
8th: Drive it to less than a 1/4 of tank, drive her for about 40 minutes,
take to the gas station, put 10 oz of Staibil and then fill tank.
9th: Put air in the tires.
10th: Takes about 10 minutes to drive to the barn.
Let her idle another 5 minutes, shut her down.
11th: Pull the battery.
12th Put desacant and dryer sheets in interior, moth balls around the car.
This keeps the little varmits away.
13th: Wait for her to cool off, cover her up,lock the door.
14th: Call insurance company, change coverage to fire/theft for storage.
15th: April 1st - bring her home.
I found some decent ones from empire. This cover was a replacement cover for a custom cover that cost three times as much and started leaking water and collecting dust under the cover in less than a year. My Empire cover is 4 months old, has survived numerous strong thunderstorms and seering Texas sun, and so far is exceeding my expectations. I have 3 cars under cover, soon the other two will be covered by Empire.
