----Im lucky to live so close to a serious boating area as there are several places to buy gas that is not infested with alcohol. My gas easily stays good over a winter. And also lucky to have heated storage a block from my house that can handle the overflow. The boats just eat up storage space, but theres lots of cheap storage around here because of so much job work has gone overseas. Thats the part I hate. Hopefully, a new administration will have some serious impact on this. No political rant intended! Go Trump (intended)!!!.......Bill S

needs to be on the suspension..the weight of the motor is pulling the front down..and its pulling on the fenders hard..in that position...the rear fender bolts are loaded..

personally, id never do it that way ever...but..for a couple months..i dunno..still..id never do that...ever

If there's any worry AT ALL about critters, put plastic sandwich bags with rubber bands over the tailpipe ends and the air cleaner snorkels.

Leaving the suspension hang is a bad idea. You don't tighten up the control arm bushings until all the weight of the car is on the suspension, do you?

So there you have it KB. Take it off the jack stands and give the monster a hug. If you do what M22 and NovaBoy do, you are golden!
