Taking the IBM 2SS out of storage...any tips? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So the weather in Illinois has been getting much better. Up to 60's temp wise, and several days of rain to wash the salt off the roads. Its time to bring the car back out for the 3 season's it gets driven. She's been in storage (unheated) over the winter. I had the Cal. Dustop car cover on. It was washed and Zaino'ed right before being put away. I'll probably grab it this weekend or next, depending if we have time. Any tips for cleaning it up? I was thinking about another 2-3 coats of Zaino a week or two after bringing it out.

You should be ready to go. Just give it a quick wash and go out and drive it

I say put it back in storage longer. Never know.
Jk I'd just let the engine run for a bit while I check the tires and underneath for anything suspicious - like an animal.
Then just drive it around a little then let her cool off. Wash it, dry it, stand back and eye it, then rip some ass on the roads.

fresh coat of wax, check fluids, and

to take care of the flat spots on the tires.

Haha, sounds like there should be no problems then. Any recommendations on any fluid replacements? I've never stored a car before.

My winter beater (wife's old car) is a 4 door Cavalier automatic with a 2.2L making about 85HP. Its been the only car I have driven for the last 4 months. It did its job, taking all the salt that Illinois insists on throwing on the roads. I've got a feeling that when I shift into first with the Camaro there will be rubber left behind =]
