oh well, i guess all that gold foil for heat protection in the engine bay was not enough.

he could cut it in half and mount the front part up on a wall somewhere like a moosehead :lol

Exactly. Anytime a car comes out of storage after an extended amount of time, a thorough check is always required. Who knows if some animal started chewing through the wires, or if it developed a leak in the fuel lines, or _____. Never assume it'll be fine.
