if you take wizawaza's advice AND pleasejoe's, then don't forget to post where you're going to store it.

prototype is on a distinguished road
i would say for body...wash it good, clay, polish, wax it and put a few layers cover it and throw it in the garage. also 1/2 a tank of gas is good. and once a week start it and let it idle for 15 mins. and when you are ready to take it out chang the plugs and air filter....that should do it. also if u have yer stock rims put them on the car and lay yer aftermarket rims flat...dont want dead spots.
