Default Re: Storing For The Winter

Thanks for the replies....... :bigthumbup

Here are a couple of comments.....

"..........when I had jack stands under mine while doing some maint. I noticed that the frame with a BBC in it would start to sag. It comes back when you set the car back on the ground, but I wonder how much stress an extended storage would have on it."

"Your actually hurting more then helping the car when storing it like that. Suspension wise especially."

I'm not opposed to other ideas but I can't see this being an issue. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Kurt,

I am one for storing with the chassis loaded. I too have noticed how the body shifts around when it is not on its suspension points. I noticed that years ago with Corvette's.

While strictly my opinion, the overall good of the car exists in the car sitting the way it normally would while driving. I'd be happy to buy tires and springs all day compared to tweaking the rest of the car.

Tim
