    When I put the car on blocks, I put the frame on blocks, not the suspension?

    Thanks for the great tips guys!
    I would advise to sell the tires as they do have an expiration date ( they harden ). Frame on blocks.

    Oh yeah. I didn't even think to sell them. Good idea. Thanks.

    As mentioned above, fuel filled and stabilized, fogging the cylinders, batteries, and protect from freezing are most important, but I have friends that even pull their valve covers and back off all the valve springs, since some are compressed and some are not.

    Or you could just bring it to my house and I will gently drive it around the block a few times a week just to keep things functioning properly!
