Default Winterizing Advice

Got a 66 Mustang this past year, and have gotten conflicting advice on storing it this winter. It will be in a detached garage, so it will be cold. Would welcome any comments on the following topics before deciding which way to go.
1. Fuel stabilizer -- sea foam, lucas, or other?
2. Battery tender or detach and bring it indoors?
3. Oil change now or in Spring?
4. Jack stands or let it be?
5. To start or not to start periodically?
6. Any tricks to keep the critters away?
Thanks for sharing any of your experience.

I store my 01 over the winter in a garage. I put Stabil in the gas tank, attach a battery tender and throw a cover on it. There it will sit not started until the spring. Been doing this for 7 years now with zero issues.
