    Body Storage Outside???

    I have somewhat limited space in my garage. Can I store the fiberglass parts outside? I am specifically thinking about putting them under my deck (hard top, bike fenders, hood, sides). The manual says "Body storage area (can be outside)" but I wanted to make sure that this would be ok and if there is something I should do to protect it.

    Outside is no problem, but shouldn't the main body be on a buck to retain it's shape? I assembled my car to a street legal condition in only a few months and drove it with no paint and a lot of body filler work in-process. I did notice some change in shape from being in the sun. Glad I cured the body that way, during the summer. With 1200 miles on it, I tore it completely apart for paint. About 1500 hours later, it was back on the road.
