Jackstands will keep the tire from flat spotting!
If you have good tires, just fill them with another 15-20 psi of air and they won't flat spot, unless they leak. Also, someone mentioned fuel stabilizer. I usually run a bottle of that, and 2 bottles of gas line antifreeze/ dry gas. But I live where we get a lot of days below freezing in the winter. Moth ***** in the engine bay keeps mice away, also if you leave the hood up, they feel less sheltered and tend to not build nests.

I have brand new tires and have heard about over inflating them but if no harm with jack stands then this will prob be the way I go. I live in the south so no real cold days. The reason I am storing cause of another trip overseas. Also thought about selling this car but just cannot part with the stang cause I love it too much. If I do sell it you can bet I will get the GT500 apoun return. Last any more thoughts about the WD40 in engine bay, cause the do tend to get messed up due to storage.

WD40 wont hurt anything in the engine bay. Jet ski riders usualy spray there engine bays to prefent corosion to the engines and dealership detailers use it to make the angine bays of used cars look new. WD40 isa ver good water repelant. it was developed by the us goverment to prevent rust on our missiles in our missle silo's. The main ingredient of it is fish oil and won't do any paint damage. you can actualy use it to clean your car body. Also great tar remover.
