That's a plan, I spray fogging oil in each cylinder in the fall, and turn the motors over by hand once every few weeks or so thru the winter that has worked good for me.

IF someday I can finagle a place in the country with a long lane away from IDOT road salt, I'll just start the cars and run them up and down the lane to keep things limber. Running the car regularly is probably the best way to preserve them. Like the guys in the Deep South and So. Calif. do
