Nice, I'm hearing those suggestions, thanks.  The trickle charger I did
forget to mention...I will have that.  Can't and won't sacrifice that 90 dollar
marine grade!

Def. up on jackstands and watch the rat infestation and fill tank and
treat....and the tarp underneath...that's something I hadn't thought of but is
definitely necessary....it is a dirt floor indeed.  My aunt has let a beautiful GM
rot in her own barn for years thinking all is ok....I tried to tell her....oh
well.  Gracias for the reminder on that one.

My thinking on starting it and letting it run would be to let it run for a
good bit, like 30 minutes at idle.  Would that be bad for it as well ya think?
Perhaps I could run it for less time but keep the rpms up to around 1800 to
not only heat 'er up but get better circulation in the process?  If so.....twice
a month would suffice you think?

Thanks,
Dustin
