Default Winter Storage

I need to store my car soon as winter is getting close and the weather is getting colder which means salt. I was wondering if anyone on here had any tips for storage.

Thank you very much for making me aware of the fact that there is a search button on this forum because i never once noticed it in 4 years. It also appears that you don't own a 5.0 and are trolling around the 5.0 section. maybe you should post in the section for cars like your own.

I dont do to much to mine, disconnect the battery, fill the tank and add fuel stabilizer, and put dryer sheets in the cabin,trunk, exhaust tips, and under the hood.

Also is it being stored inside or out

The car is being stored inside. I never considered dryer sheets before. I assume mice don't like them?

Always worked for me, plus you don't have to drive around a car that smells like mothballs all summer

edit: I store my car in my grandfathers barn, with the dryer sheets I've never had issues with mice. One summer I skipped it the sheets on my beater when I put it in the barn and it the interior was half destroyed by mice in the fall....It could be coincidence but I won't store a vehicle without them again.
