Default Winterizing Vette

well, it's getting cold up here in winnipeg, and I'm backing out of the cruise scene because of school(homework), money(lack of), women(demanding)......etc.....

I'm storing the vette in a non-climate controlled barn with a cement floor (typically stays dry and about -5C in the middle of winter)

i added STP Fuel Stabalizer, covered the car with a bed sheet (it's blue, just in case you were wondering), put mothballs in the engine bay, and made a mothball perimeter around the car

what else should I do to make sure nothing stupid happens over the winter...ie...mice, rusting....etc

Don't forget 50 / 50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water in the rad.
I'd take out the battery and store it someplace warm. (like Florida!)
