Discussing Antique Car Storage And What To Do

By Virginia Collins


We think that keeping a car locked up and stored away is as easy as that. Licking it up and then store it away. No, it may not be as complex as anything else, but there are still things to remember when doing so. There are things to take note just in case your car might get damaged during its storage process. That might be a little bit of a bummer when we finally decide to use it. So here is Antique Car Storage.

The vehicle grandad gave you is an old Chevrolet so invest it. Might want to keep it in mint condition, as an honor of your late dear old grandpa. He would love that. Would even smile down at you from the heavens. So it is time to work your butt off on it and respect his wishes about his very old baby.

Before you store it though, fill its tank with a premium type of gas and add just a little bit of fuel stabilizer. At least if it is what it says on the instructions. Fill it up to the brim. Doing that gives the excess moisture less time to build up in those open spaces. Those really lead the tank into rusting.

Then comes in the cleaning and refining the details. Whether it should be necessary or not, it does not matter. It stops and prevents any pests from touching your new vehicle. Waxing the exterior is also a nice point. Make something beautiful even more stunning. Grandpa would be proud.

Examples on how to clean that are these here. Insert baking soda in it so there will not be smells that come from it. Place steel wool on the exhaust so rats cannot get into it. Lubricate its doors as well as hinges. Wash those wheels. After, cover it in with a cloth.

Put your car on some jacks and fill its tires. It is very important to maintain your wheels in storage since they sometimes can be expensive to change. Fill those up to its max, according to your PSI at least. And if you do not plan on using your vehicle for a long while, put it on jacks, use one of those jack stands.

Remember to put some sort of plywood or any type of wood under your tires. When you put it into storage, the wheels will get ground rot. So to avoid that, apply those wooden surfaces below them to prevent any of that from happening.

If you plan to start your vehicle once in a while, get trickle charger or battery tender. It keeps it functioning over long periods of its time in keeping. Though, this will only work if you have some sort of power source where you will be putting it.

Now, all those chores are done. It is time to store it somewhere that will guarantee its condition and safety. Maybe a place that is clean. To match its cleanliness too. And a dark spot for it will do nicely as well. Try not to get any bright lighting on it.
