Default Freshening up a frequently stored car

I have a 2000 SS Camaro convertible that has been stored for extended lengths due to activations and during winters. I'm at 58k currently.

The car runs fine, starts right up, etc. I would like to freshen up the car due to its age though. I would also like to do most of the work myself. I'm thinking:

Seafoam
Oil change of course
Plugs and wires
Fuel filter

Any other items I should address?

Much appreciated!

Get msd wires. If you ever get headers the msd wires have bendable boots so that you will not burn the wires on the headers

From my reading of the boards I'm going with NGK TR55 plugs and MSD wires.

Sounds good, I have a ls2 6.0 in my car and it calls for a NGK TR6, but the 6.0 has more compression. the TR6 is slightly cooler for that reason, good luck man.
