Everyone, my 03 GT has been in storage since December of last year. I work overseas and I’m returning home in August. Before I left I put fuel stabilizer in the gas tank, mothballs on the carpets, cleaned the inside, outside, undercarriage, and waxed it. It's garage keep and Dad runs it up ever few days to temp. I need advice as to what maintenance should be done before putting it back on the road. Any help would be much appreciated.

I would just check the fluids, put in new gas, check tire pressure and tires for dry rot and other then that i would think your good to go. Maybe take it easy on it for a few days

If it were for an extended period, I would have put it on "blocks" to avoid flat spots on tires OR had your pop drive it a few blocks after it had reached temperature, just to get it limbered.
