      1. Sta-bil in the gas tank
      2. top of fluids, fresh oil change
      3. plastic tarp underneath car
      4. placed on jack stands under suspension
      5. dryer sheets in car ??
      6. leave windows cracked for air flow
      7. good car cover
      8. disconnect battery

      anybody know of anything else i should take care of? thanks for the input. i'm hoping to be home in time for RTTHV next year. hopefully my car will be there as well this time...
      Hey Jeff

      Being a friendly Pro-Tourng member bring the car to me. I would crank it once a week and maybe wash it too, problem solved. LOL
      All kidding aside hope you make it back in time for RTTHV.

      Hey Michael,

      Thanks for the offer, it'd be nice to have someone keep my car clean for me while i'm gone. Maybe I should take you up on your offer, that way my car may be finished next time for RTTH's.
      Too bad your not closer.

      I'm hoping to be back in time for RTTHV, but won't know til it gets closer. Are you going to be able to bring your car this time? later...

      I wil bring my 68 next year. I got most of the bugs worked out after I got home from RTTH4. The only thing I might do is power steering and a fresh coat of primer. I saw Matt having difficulties with the manual steering in the autocross.
      I have been trying to concentrate on my 69. I have cut the floor pans and started installing DSE subframe connectors. Then I will start the mini tub.
      Have a safe trip and a Happy Holidays!
