Storage for long period of time - Check List help.

Ok, I've made the desision to put the Camaro into a 'long' storage period of unknown length. Anyone out there with a list of safeguards to perform to the car. Here is what I have so far. Unfortunatly the car has to sit outside, no indoor storage facilities I know of here here (but will have a shelter over it).

- Fill & stabilize fuel
- change oil (any special type for storage only, something that sticks)
- Fogging the cylinders inside with anti-corrosion spray
- grease up all ball joints etc.
- Fresh Anti-Freeze & filled up
- Check all other fluids (all are good anyways)
- cover interior & install moisture removing stuff (eg. air driz)
- Invest in a good car cover
- looking at putting on jack stands @ suspension locations .. to help protect wheel bearings ? Not worried about tires.

Am I missing anything.. ??

Thanks.

That's what the 'air driz' is .. it pulls the moisture out of the air.
